As indicated, the reservoirs are for vacuum and coolant overflow. The coolant overflow tank is almost always neglected and you will find it full of crud. It's supposed to allow the plastic pressure tank on the right inner fender to overflow and later, as the coolant cools, suck the contents back in without loss (that's the theory).
The plastic liners at the lower front are often lost due to accident and rarely replaced. They are important in keeping things clean underneath. The steel crash plate is an option that is rarely seen. I'd like to have one.
