Can anyone tell me what these are on a Me-262?

On the left hand side of the rear fuselage (by the luftwaffe cross), are 4 small round holes mounted in pairs in kinda an oval plastic thing.  Anyone know what they are for?

I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.

Those holes are signal flare ejectors.  They could be triggered by the pilot to communicate the condition of the airplane or pilot prior to landing.
