They are the same width,length,convex glass, even down to the four screws on the back holding everything together, and painted in green drab paint!.(I did'nt push him on what shade of green drab paint !)

Keith,
These mirrors sound like British Army ones as used from prewar up until the 70/80's and last seen on Ferrets, they would be painted Deep Bronze Green gloss. Seem to remember they were called the 1928 Pattern. Several makers and styles, the ones with the 4 screws round the edge are I think Raydot or Desmo. For a good number of years classic parts dealers have been selling these, either painted or chromed, same with Butler sidelamps. I have used these on my QL for 14 years and find them ok, set vertically, you can see from the tyre to the top of the canopy.
