The reason these fixtures look so much older is because this is a "Service Elevator" by design. The one from your other video is a passenger elevator, right?
Right. The other one was installed later and had taken mainly passenger service into account. It was only later that those existing service models went into mainly passenger service.
These are referred to as "Mahjong lights" by some Hong Kong elevator fans, as they resemble those tiles used in a traditional Chinese gambling game, Mahjong. In Hong Kong this indicator design is used normally on Japanese lift products like Mitsubishi, Hitachi or Toshiba. Never seen one in non-Asian counterparts.

Wow - that hall indicator looks kinda like a Dover/ThyssenKrupp one in America.

Yes, I did mean it.
By the way, did you hear the driver pump starting up when seeing the top floor button being pressed in the video?
