The mirror frame looks like the 'old' style' with the screw driver up the base to lock and unlock the mirror. As the later style fitting ring doesn't fit should you find a replacement supplier grateful you let us know where you found it.

Very good question Bob! I'm also after the earlier type of mirror glass for my 760, tried a couple of ebay sellers and they keep sending through the later type where you have to break the mirror glass to remove it from the motor like on the later 940s.

As for why the OPs mirror glass seemed to be heating, even with the ignition off, that's another problem!
