wrt to jurisdictions that DO reqiuire this type of marking it would be interesting to see the date on which the requirement was originally implemented.

I would not be surpised if it was in the 1950s or earlier.

I was focused on the semantics of the door itself. If we omit any mention of 'rear door', the regs do state the registration need be in that general area: "(i) on each side of the fuselage or an alternative structure in the area between the wing and the tail surface," as per the CARs link that member C-FMWQ posted: CAR 222

Indeed, it seems I've misspoken. I'll have to pay better attention when next near a WestJet plane, but a cursory glance at the inter webs shows you're absolutely right.
