I have to agree with Christopher, mid beads added by the owner to produce the usual figure 8 sight picture could be anywhere along the rib due to the differences in stock configuration and the shooters facial features. I don't think Parker Bros. could have set the mid bead position to change POI without the shooter being present due to these differences.
Off the shelf guns today typically have the mid bead at 1/2 barrel length along with an adjustable comb. The real use of the mid bead is to tell if the gun is canted when mounted,not to adjust POI.
