The nose of your Bus was replaced with a later panel, probably the only thing available at the time. You need '73-'79 turn signal assemblies.

Headlights are the same from '68 right through the end of production. Post some more pics of your Bus.

use pink blue and green it is prettier.

Make sure that nose is actually welded on and not just pop riveted with lots of bondo.

That's a great idea for all your turn signals. Can't wait to see it done!
