I was here just today and took the opportunity to snap a picture of the writing. Interestingly, all three stones are marked as No.10 which makes me wonder if they are reproductions from an original?
I have the same doubt as they look so new and have such a smooth surface.
If they aren't replicas, have they been relocated to this place?
They are so close to each other ... though I have seen other boundary stones located as close as they do, such as those at Gunhill Club and Shek Kong Barracks.
I believe that they've all got the same number isn't weird, it just stand for something like the lot number, say, the one for Shek Kong Barracks is #11, so all those you found around the boundary got the same number.

That's an interesting find. I don't think we've seen this style before.
They are marked "MOD". That dates them to post-WW2, as the Ministry of Defence wasn't created until 1947 (source: Wikipedia).
