German 81 with white ring

I found this years ago but I never have been able to find a definitive answer as to what the white painted ring means, any ideas appreciated. Lots of Ub's found in this area too. Thanks

Thank you, it means ring for filling type then, so what does white mean as opposed to the yellow rings on the 2 next to it?
