This because in the 70s having a front turn signal that extended sufficiently on the side was enough (most cars didn't have wraparound front indicators so they were obliged to have a side repeater, but cars like W123 or BMW E21 were OK without), as explained here (only article I found in english): Link to "www.curbsideclassic.com" A few years later (exact date to check, probably early 80s) side repeater became mandatory for all cars, regardless of the front turn signal extension. Most existing cars that didn't have them had to comply to pass the inspection in later years, and also imported cars without side repeaters had to be fitted with them, so that's the reason because sometimes we can see unusual arrangements. I don't think I ever saw here a W123 with repeater above the wheelarch, but I remember seeing one with the indicators of a 190.
