Question about Final Battle Megatron's stickers

Does anyone know where the optional purple stickers/decals for AM-33 Final Battle Megatron should be applied? Can't find any pictures online or YouTube videos that show where these two long thin rectangle purple stickers should be applied.

(These are the optional stickers that are not numbered and are not shown in the instructions)

I just got this guy Saturday and have had too much company over at the house to mess with him yet. I'll look it over tonight and see what I can come up with :)

Well, those stickers make no sense, but I have a hunch on what they were intended for. I can only call it a hunch because it makes some assumptions.

Let's start with the image of Megs on the lower back part of the package:

For the sake of this hunch, I'm going to assume this to be an image of a production sample. Now, let's look at the actual figure:

What's different? The knees. I think the sticker artist didn't think the knees would get painted. Here's some size comparison of the stickers and knee paint:

Mystery solved? Hell if I know, but I can't find anywhere else on that toy where those stickers would make even a little sense.

I'd bet money on that being right. ^

Same here. makes sense to me. I'll save the stickers in case someone comes up with something else but for now I'll consider it mystery solved and stickers not needed! Thanks ScottyP!
