The coordinates had been copied from the postbox list from the Hong Kong Post website.  They have listed out for each and every postbox in use.

Colonial postbox at the northern side of the junction of Nathan Road and Haiphong Road. Possibly number 24.

Appears on a photo from the 1930s (but is likely older). It was likely removed when the MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station was built in c.1979.

ER2 pillar box located in Chak On Estate.

Colonial postbox at the junction of Hollywood Road and Ladder Street, near Man Mo Temple. First described by moddsey who identified the postbox number 42 and its inscription ER VII - King Edward VII (1901-1910).

The set-up date is unknown, the postbox is not there on a photo of the Man Mo Temple from 1935. Visible on a couple of post ww2 photos, last from 1997. The oldest photo I found on Flickr is from 2002, the postbox has been removed already.

Originally erected in 1892 as:
