The Angiosperm PhyloGeny Website - https://www.mobot.org/mobot/research/apweb/
has more up to date-ness broadly across it.

APG IV version still current as the authoritative basis for angiosperm classifications globally - last updated 2024 April 10th .

... Than POWO which has some minority of parts still 10 to 20 or more years out of date and much more minority of it several years out of date .
I have lists of some decades out of date minority parts and moreso several years out of date larger minority parts, of POWO.

Here the white spots on these still ripening fruits coloured pale reddish and green,
and attached on to "inflorescence stems short, knobby, outward or upward pointing"
and these here "peduncles 30–50 mm long"
Ref': Coopers (2004) page 328,
confirm that this tree identifies to:
Ficus variegata

To doubly prove confirmation you may check the form of the leaves with,
a zoom lens into the canopy,
and any on the ground from the canopy above.

Ficus variegata has:
"Leaf blades rather large, about 14-21 x 9-13 cm.
...
Stipules smooth. "
Ref': RFK ed. 8 : https://apps.lucidcentral.org/rainforest/text/entities/ficus_variegata.htm

And "leaves ...glabrous [hairless]; petioles 50–140 mm long; stipules green or pink, 10–20 mm long"
Ref': Coopers (2004) page 328.
.

(Not Ficus racemosa – having yellow–orange–bright red ripe fruits,
after ripening from all over green unripe fruits without white spots,
attached onto inflorescence stems longer with longer branches and that often hang downwards with the figs on them,
"Leaves ... 50–200 x 30–90 mm ...; petioles 20–70 mm long; stipules 5–20 mm long, minutely hairy. "
their much shorter "peduncles 5–12 mm long"
Ref': Coopers (2004) page: 326
and
"Leaf blades about 6-20 x 4-9 cm ".
Ref': RFK ed.8 : https://apps.lucidcentral.org/rainforest/text/entities/ficus_racemosa.htm

And "Ultimate branchlets, stipules or petioles hairy ."
Ref': https://keybase.rbg.vic.gov.au/keys/show/13193
) .

Ficus hispida botanical key features, including:

• Opposite (attached) leaves, and
leaves' outline' shapes, bases' shapes and apices' shapes, and
forms including papery lamina
(not thick as per Ficus congesta), and
canopy new growth leaves pale green
– (not red per Ficus congesta).

• Figs depressed globose (shape)
– (not pyriform to discoid per Ficus congesta).

• Figs densely brown-pubescent (or velvety white hairs, fide Cooper & Cooper 2004: 324)
– (Figs here: not pyriform to discoid ..., not ribbed, not glabrous nor hispid; nor ostiole as depressed, as per the Ficus congesta figs' form)

• Fruits shapes and surfaces appearances match this species
– (not Ficus congesta).
