Yeah, that threw me off too.
As far as I know, the US DOT standard specifies that a white marker light must be viewable from the front, and an amber marker light must be viewable from the side. On most cars, the clear and amber markers are viewable from front and side, but on most Land Rovers I've seen, this specification is interpreted quite literally and the clear markers are only viewable from the front (on mine, the clear marker bulb shares a reflector with the headlight), and the amber markers are only viewable from the side.
