Those were optional parts to build a phantom 71 Superbird.

Those parts were in both the '71 Roadrunner annual kit, and the mid-year GTX kit.

The story goes that there was a stillborn project at Plymouth in 1969/1970 to build a Superbird version of the 71 Road Runner.

It is possible that some of the designs were shared with MPC and it's possible that MPC just did it on its own.  The bummer is that these noses are too narrow and generally don't fit well on the Monogram Satellite/GTX kits.

The 72 Road Runner also comes with a custom front end that looks a little like the RTS 71 Road Runner (it's the front end shown on the box cover).
