I guess so.
If you are interest in what exact field is NULL, I think there is
enough info in the asm already:

The access via the NULL pointer happens with offset 0x68:

So we just need to find what's here accesses with offset 0x68:

And that pointer itself was loaded from something at offset 0x8 previously:
