I dislike not having the fart pedal (footrest)
If its the mirror itself, They may be missing the white retainer flaps and its evidence they could have been replaced.
Interesting about the foot/fart pedal! I remember my Dad getting frustrated at there not being one on his (manual) Volvo 240's!! In the end I think he got hold of a length of squared aluminium (about 18inches in length and around 1.5-2 inches in diameter. He then bent it round (imagine snail shaped) to fit (a) the flooring edge and (b) ensured sufficient length to rest his foot on. He then velcro'd it to the floor..and happy days! Various designs of foot pedal available on eBay. Wonder if anybody's found a solution to the missing foot pedal thing...
