Default CMP mirrors on european trucks ?

I see in a lot of CMP pics on Hannos site etc of european CMP's all have kind of an oval mirror on both sides, Is this some kind of aftermarket mirror over in europe ?, as I thought the OEM CMP mirrors were the slender, rectangular kind
like most have here on CMP's Ive seen ?

I need 2 mirrors for my CMP and kind of like the oval ones, do any of you have any more info on where they can be had ?, are they newer surplus mirrors ? or old NOS ones ?, here is an example of kinda what I talking about .

Do a search on them. There was a lot sold from Argentina via Ebay, and quite a few of us bought them.

Is there any chance to find a couple more of the Argentinean ones?

Or, if not, where can we found something ... "similar"?

Another source is British MGB sports car mirrors. They are available (about $125 if I recall) but are chromed.

Haridimos,
Try Paul Beck vintage supplies here in the UK.
I bought a pair from him a few years ago in their original painted condition, exactly as Lynn showed them above. From memory, I think he charges the same for the chrome ones.
Regards
Keith
