Why does the front turn signal/parking lights use dual element bulbs? 200 1986

I was replacing various bulbs in my '86 244 DL last night when I noticed that the front turn signals and running lights used dual element bulbs like the brake lights do.

While it makes sense to me why the brakes use dual bulbs (one for the brake, one for the running lights), I can't think of any reason for the bulbs up front to use these same bulbs.

A bit frustrating for me, because I ended up with a couple of extra bulbs, and a few bulbs I couldn't otherwise replace!

Thanks as always.
