I have not found any reference to this or pictures, but my TR250 has a maybe 2" squrish bit of red orange reflective tape up above the door latch mechanism (so that it would reflect from the headlights of an oncoming car coming from behind if you opened the door at night. Is this original? As I said haven't seen a reference to it, but since they went crazy with the lights/reflective stuff on thes cars I guess it would fit the general theme.
 
I've never seen one (including a few very low mileage originals) that has had any kind of reflective material on the doors. My guess is that somebody added it.

The TR250 did have reflective "tape" to help outline the soft top at night. However there were no other factory applied reflective tapes or stickers. What is on your car must have been added by the PO.
