I thought we weren't meant to talk about their orientation?

I cannot speak for UK spec cars but D3/4s in Aust with Halogen lights also have projector housing for low beam. So here you cannot say it has BiXenons if it has a projector lens in the light housing.

There looks as if there could be cornering lights in with the side lights, if so it wouldn't matter whether they are bi-xenons or straight xenons as they might be adaptive Xenon's so they would swing both ways. Does an extra light come on at slow speeds when you turn on an indicator?

No, that's the straight halogen. H7 bulb in the "main" bit (middle) and same in hi beam (spotlamp looking) bit at the extreme right of that unit (as we look at it).
On the xenon it's same in hi beam bit (H7, preferably upgraded light output) and H2S xenon behind the glass lens bit in the middle below.
