Does 5.15 and 5.16 have the side indicator cameras active in the dashcam recordings?

I got 5.16 last night after being on 49.2 for weeks. I had to call the service center and ask for it to be pushed to my car.

I did not see anything about the dashcam in the release notes, and I have not checked the USB key yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that not enough model 3 owners have it yet, so S owners can't have it.
 
Alright so finally it's here.
Files are stored in a file per camera, front, left repeater, right repeater
<datetime>-front.mp4
<datetime>-left_repeater.mp4
<datetime>-right_repeater.mp4

They are rougly the same size.

There's 2 directories- SavedClips and RecentClips, where RecentClips contain 2GB of data.
left_repeater is is 0 bytes for some reason in RecentClips.

SavedClips has recordings from Sentry Mode a higher bitrate than RecentClips (not detected stuff?):
Overall bit rate : 4 030 kb/s

Sentry Mode works well on S, it shows the "HAL" screen if you have motion in the repeater cameras.

Right Repeater in RecentClips.

Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Base Media / Version 2
Codec ID : mp42 (mp42/mp41/isom/iso2)
Overall bit rate : 2 979 kb/s
