The 'little thing' above the Push sign is the actuator for the 'throttle closed warning' horn switch. Look closely.
Also examine the boost page that you yourself published here

It says COMBAT 5 MINS LIMIT. 3,000 rpm +12lbs
The Merlin XII was able to use constant boost pressure of up to +12 psi using 100 octane fuel
With +12lbs available it would have been used whenever the pilot felt he needed it. There was no air ministry beaurocrat sitting in the cockpit to slap his wrist. Engine life/wear may have been a consideration but the Merlin XII was built nore strongly than the Merlin III for just that reason.
This has been hammered out again and again and you constantly come back with red herrings. Give it up.
