This is purely a guess, but I think you're right. I'm basing that on the fact that I don't see a step for the gunner to get into the rear cockpit directly on the side of the fuselage. Or any practical way to accomplish it. Therefore I'm speculating that entry was gained via the pilot's cockpit, and that these were reinforced steps used for that purpose. Then again, I could be 100% wrong...

Thanks Ed, What do you think about these things being celluloid inspection panels?
