I think it is only post 1973 that this was imposed. Apparently it was so you can tell which is the front or the rear of the car at a distance.

Apparently to identify front and rear of the vehicle (I remember this from a pub quiz!)

Surely they would be called backlights

I thought backlights were for getting the ideal light coverage, to take a photo of your arse?

The reason for a yellow plate at the rear and white at the front is because it is illegal to show a white light to the rear at night, and that the law includes reflectors in its definition of what constitutes a light.

You're not being thick. It's a British Standard set years ago, yellow plate at the rear and white at the front is because it is illegal to show a white light to the rear at night.

Different countries, all have different rules.
