They weren't mandatory in NL.

You sure? I've seen quite a few imported new American cars (and even european cars) with these repeaters in NL only.

According to the european members, which is weird considering how the Monte Carlo was officially imported to the Netherlands in the late 70s and 80s (as was the Caprice and Malibu.) Hell, most had that white repaeter, which sold in Netherlands imports usually have.

Really mandatory were in Europe these side indicators only in Denmark, Norway and Italy.

Later on (in the 80ies?) came an EU-wide law, that somehow the light of front repeaters have to be visible from the side, too. It doesn't matter, if there's a side indicator in the wing (or in the outer mirror as often common nowadays) or if the front repeater goes around the edge, just the light has to be visible from side view.

Completely white front indicators were mandatory in Italy until 1977 - and only allowed there. In any other European country the front repeaters must be orange (the back ones, too. There are single allowed exceptions for US-cars and a few 1960ies classics as the W111-Benz for example).
These white front repeater-lenses are a popular styling element. At some models they are standard, for other cars the owner replace the orange lenses with clear ones from aftersales market. As at this specific car, too, I would say.
The only important thing is, that the light has to be orange. So when the lense is white or clear, the bulb has to be orange. That's it.
