Draft Stripes

Hi all,
I have a sailing buddy who used thin stickers similar to pin stripes intended for cars. It was applied to both sides of the sails directly over the seams of the panels. I told him that it could be illegal because in effect, it was like putting on full battens on the sails. I have attached a photo of the boat. It is the green Tempest with out sail numbers

Is this stickers class legal?
Regards,

G.3 and G.4 in the class rules state sail shape indicator stripes are to be applied using paint or ink.
also in G4.3 that their maximum width is 30mm. A maximum of three stripes on the main and two on the jib.
