Default Failed MOT on rear light reflectors

Hey all,

My motor failed the mot on couple of things, one I should of fixed already but I'm puzzled by my lexus style rear lights being reported as "002 n/s o/s rear reflectors missing" when there's reflective material all over the lights. If they're E marked, are they legal?

Just checked my lights, has SAE mark on them, not sure if that is any good. They also have side reflectors built into them.

Look exactly same as top two listed here:
Subaru Impreza WRX 01 Lexus Lights

Is MOT station wrong?

It's ***** I think as I've had them ages and they've passed before, prob 3 previous MOTs maybe more. Wonder if I can appeal?

I will call them tomorrow or monday depending on when open. Form says rear reflectors missing. MOT guides say 2 red securely fixed reflectors fitted, which there is but they're on a side angle (you can see them when looking at the rear doors, not the back).
