This green Silver Shadow once belonged to the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, which had a fleet of such cars - all painted green and regularly updated to the latest models.

First thumbrial shows car with separate reversing lights.
If we trust it's same car, the model year should be 1969 here.

Exactly why do these cars have sidemarkers? Were they mandatory in HK?

All 69+ Shadows and Bentley Ts for everywhere* got sidemarkers like this. However I'm not sure all markets got the same colours - they may have juggled orange/white/red according to local requirements.

* - or very nearly everywhere - I think we have some made-for-Italys with 69 dates entered and smaller sidemarkers - maybe a carry-over of their previous format for a year or two??
