Now when you see them taped on like that it is usually an indication that the driver is new to the car and he/she needs a way to line up his "line of sight" with the center of the front wheel. Once he/she is comfortable with the driving dynamics they pull them off. So, the fact you see them in some shots and not others doesn't indicate they are necessarily different cars.
