I agree with you the driver's mirror setup looks a bit odd, and I am wondering if it was intended, in the possible absence of any wireless intercom, for the driver to observe hand signals from the tank commander up in the turret?

Possibly a No 11 wireless set, though cannot be sure. Some had a telescopic mounting with a lamp to transmit messages, possibly morse. There was an intercom, depending on the type of radio fitted or (I think) a voice tube.
