Strange small lines on the notes

I don't know if you had already noticed it: on behind of the banknotes

and

there are two small lines that they form a 90° angle, placed in a precise point that is the same one for every denonimation and different between dissimilar denominations. On notes of some States they are good marked, in others nearly invisible.
On

they're immediately over of the small map of the Carribbean French islands, grey-colored, while on

they are immediately to right of the first pylon base of the acqueduct, in the middle of the iridescent strip, yellow-colored.
I suppose that there are in other colors and positions also on the other denominations, but I don't see them.

I couldn't find them on the

I was able to find the light yellow corner on the five euro note on (well, close to) the explained location. It is next to the second-rightmost pylon, not the rightmost one.

I think they are some technical signs for the automatic cutting of the sheet into the printers.
In these scans you can see the signs in the

Could there be an upside down L hidden at this spot?
