From the double L on those I think they are Les Leston bullet mirrors, probably aftermarket mirrors for minis and the like from the 60's!

Welcome to the forum xriss, yes as bob2 says they're Les Leston mirrors - quite rare now.

That has been on there for quite some time. There was one with out the bracket to convert it into a door mirror (like xriss's) and also missing the glass that went for £3 last night. Unfortunately I missed it as I was going to make some fibreglass copies out of it for the mini van! The real thing is always so much better though
