I think that the circle in the Buckingham image is merely the result of some scratches and artifacts on the image and not indicative of an actual circle drawn on the stage at Ford's. Here's another copy of the same image that was owned by Dr. Lattimer. It does not show any white circle drawn on the stage:

Note the location of the settee and Clara's chair in these great photos. Exactly as described by Ferguson.

Also the tear in the carpet seems to fit the trajectory of Booth leaping from portal 1 toward backstage instead of leaping slightly forward from portal 2. (Although their does seem to be more room of escape on the right side of portal 2).
