They aren't just bodyguards, they are an elite army branch and perform other duties. Plenty were stationed up at Preah Vihear during the border conflict with Thailand.

I heard that in exchange for Ream Park (protection from the Cambodian courts) they got loads of uniforms, motorbikes, cars, guns, etc. from the Chinese. About the time I heard this a high up American official was in PP and I saw all the new Chinese equipment they had gotten. Lots of black weapons, tactical uniforms and new bikes.

They got all that new equipment around the same time all the other military did, just after the 2013 elections. The deal between the Bodyguard Unit and the Chinese company happened in 2010.
