As far as I know, the reflectors were required in certain countries. (Some had laws that stated the reflector had to be seperate from the taillight itself.)

The reflectors I've seen were identical to the ones mounted low on the rear of barndoor buses, though some were installed after the car was exported using whatever was available locally.
