The part might be related to a landing gear. 

Anyway, it looks much younger than WWII to me.

 

I guessed the following characters in red.

最大緩衝 – Maximum shock absorbing (point)

地上静止 – Standing on the ground (point)

Recessed rivets into aluminium skin were a new feature that was incorporated into the Zero fighter amongst others.
