  Master page items do not export to reflowable epub, only fixed layout epub.
  
  I don’t know from your screen shots if it’s reflowable or fixed. If it’s reflowable, I’m curious if the lines on top and on bottom stay in place as you turn the device (was that what your screen shots were showing?) and if you make the type larger/smaller. That is, make it reflow.
  
  If so, my best guess is that the rules are there from the device or software, not the epub. Similar to how some ereaders add a running header with the book title at the top of every page.

  I just don’t see how it is possible to achieve what you want with reflowable epub. You can get it done with fixed layout. As Anne-Marie said, in reflowable epub master page items do not export. The screenshots you show are probably from a fixed layout epub.
