Well, they are the same.

BUT they did say there was a lot of rust behind the stalk mounting and they have used filler, fibreglass and lead plate?? to permanently hold the stalks on because professionals who did major bodywork in the past "skipped" doing those little issues. The owner reckons that if they are removed, they are going to end up having to have the wing patched up and welded, and they don't want to go down that road.

hence all of this problem trying to match up the mirror tops...

OK.

I certainly haven't found any albert mirrors anywhere else yet and I've look for weeks.

Thanks,

Let me check what I have in my box-of-mirror-parts and get back to you - it shouldn't be all too difficult to find a set of nice complete mirror heads.
