I have some white Lego that has some tan discoloration on only one side
(like the front face of a slope but not the studs or sides or underneath).
It is most likely from smoke (cigarette) or sun. What is wierd is a Police
van has 2 shades of discoloration, one for doors and shutters, one for
bricks. Is there any way to restore the original white?

The FAQ addresses this:

Is it possible to restore yellowed parts to their original color?

From Richard Marchetti:

Yes, for some colors, at least. Use 1/4 part bleach (or less) to 3/4 parts
water and allow the parts to soak for 1 to 2 weeks. This absolutely works
for white, grey, or clear.
