The fact that the top right part of the panel says “Coupling for manual start” would in itself suggest that it would be found in the vicinity of the manual start aperture. I mean they are not going to put that label on the top of the engine away from the manual start area, the panel is also not going to be found anywhere except in front of the wing as you would not be able to drain the oil from anywhere else, you would also expect the oil drain to be near the bottom of the engine.
As to flying pencils image, perhaps that is correct and the panel is hinged sideways making the placard face the right way rather than being hinged at the front as per the Do217 line drawing. Another thought that just occurred to me is that maybe the small placard was added as a mod while the aircraft was in service for whatever reason whereas flying pencils photo shows an aircraft at an earlier date.
Just my 2 cents worth
