They are Conspicuity Markings
A blurb from the web:
From July 2011, all newly registered HGVs over 7.5 tonnes and trailers over 3.5 tonnes must have reflective conspicuity markings that clearly outline the rear and sides of the vehicle to make it visible for up to 1000 metres at night. ECE104 specifies the standard for the reflective materials used, and where an how it must be positioned on the vehicle or trailer.
Assume its more efficent to use straight tape as a hatched line aroun the curve than cut a circle from a big sheet
You will also now notice, yellow stripes down the side of vans used on the highways by councils, and road maintinence who stop often
