Okay, when I said that googling turned up squat, it turns out that my google kung-fu simply was not good enough.

I found this site, created by a guy with a desultory interest in utility poles:

The Unofficial Utility Pole Page

In his links section, I found link to a company called Almetek, which makes stuff similar to Premax. On Almetek's site, I found this:

Almetek reflective grids

Scroll down inside the frame on the page that comes up.

So they are reflective after all! I suppose if I had noticed that to begin with, it would have been a no-brainer....
