Yes there is, I gave it to you. It is simply to see that the prop is spinning. The answers saying it was to put off enemy gunners, make it hard to distinguish range or a dazzle effect are a load of rubbish.

Think about it, how would anyone see it on an aircraft approaching at 350mph, it's just so the ground crew don't walk into a spinning prop.
