Ta 152 V-7 - panel/access hatch dillema

While collecting some documentation for my modelling project, I found some uncertain panel and hatches location.
I've looked at drawings in old Model Art and noticed, that both H-0, H-1 and C-1 have medi-kit acces panel located in it's usual for early Fw 190 A-8 position.
Later A-8 seem to have it removed. The same with Doras.
My first doubt is, if it was also present on Ta 152 V-7?
Unfortunately, photos published in Harmann's, Etchell's and many otherpublications does not clearly solve the problem (with a drawing in Close-Up with a medi-kit).
If it really was installed, it is just on the dark area on fuselage cross.
Can't see it also on Ta 152 H FE-112.

The other doubt is a presence of underwing outer cannons acces panel. Like on Doras.
Some drawings, including those in D.Harmann's book show them, but logicaly, outer cannons bay should be omited here, on V-7.

The third dillema is a presence of Motorkannone carriage and it's ejection chute?

Manny doubts, even if that aircraft seems to be well known.

cheers
