Dunc, I've had loads of 164s over the years, and every one except my current car-show 164E has had its mirrors on the doors, just below the 1/4 lights. However my late 164TE has them on that little triangular metal section in front of where the quarter-light window would be if it had them. Thats because Volvo had started making the first 240s then, and the 1/4lightless doors/mirrors were common to both models.
My 164E is only different because the previous owner towed a caravan with the car, and had extensions on them. It may have been like that from new, as I can't see any trace of filled holes, although I think weeny wing mirrors on such a big car look naff.
I'll pass the anorak back to my baby brother now.....
