They are legal. In principle you are disobeying the lights by turning.
The lack of signs showing the prohibitions is a very good defence.

I doubt it very much. You'd have to show that the sign showing the
prohibition was part of the statutory requirement, and I can't see any
wording suggesting that. The green arrow *is* the prohibition.

Only the red light is an statutory offence. Green arrows would have to
come under 'careless driving', and if the additional signing is not up to
the standards in the manual, you have a good defence.
