Those guys are also usually the one that spots the offence, and relays information to the officer that is further down, who ultimately pulls the vehicle over.
Secondly, each detachment may have their own policy regarding high visibility vests, that trumps the Provincial Regulations. It would be interesting to see if that is the case.

i have seen countless times officers who are doing speed checks (marine WB just before Elliot in the alley where they hide) who dont wear the vest and when they clock someone, they run out into the street. Mind you, its not like you don't see them or anything but they dont have a green vest. BUT i have also seen them in the same spot with a green vest. Not sure what the law is in regards to wearing them or not.
