Has anyone seen a “ ‘66” or otherwise Bronco Rear View mirror like this one?

Based on other threads I’ve seen on this topic there isn’t a “specific” ‘66 rear view mirror. There are photos of many styles with the owner claiming they are original. Basically the consensus is that it’s what ever Ford had in the bin at the time

I agree with what Kirk said. I haven't ever seen that specific one. Does it interfere with the hard top? I'm not sure I'm seeing it right. Also looks like there was something screwed to the frame behind this one. What year rig was this on?

It was supposed to be off a ‘66. I can see behind it where there might be holes as well. I’m not sure if the bolt/stud is long enough to go through both the windshield frame and the hard top?

Those 2 holes in the frame look like they belong to mirrors I've seen.

It could have been on a U13 where a hardtop didn't matter.

My first thought is that the mirror could have been a generic aftermarket product. But I'm just guessing.
