My thoughts were along the lines of a landing sign as well. It is a very 'bright' marking and as such must have been of a temporary nature, so I bought it may have been used to sort equipment for loading onto landing craft.
The film looks to be related to landings in either Italy or Sicily, so perhaps this marking was unique to that operation for some reason. I don't recall ever seeing any similar windscreen marks on equipment landing at Normandy, so maybe after trying it in Italy the powers that be decided it was not necessary for D-Day.
Very curious none the less.
