Strange - The mirror look painted in that photo.
I wonder if it's painted or if it's just the lighting |
Looks like one of those Hella plastic mirrors that used to be in circulation years ago. They have a funky mounting bracket that attached directly to the mirror head and kind of "pinches" onto the mirror arm.
They were seen often some years ago before original style reproduction mirrors were on the market.

I'm definitely not in the know...The front bumper on the panel seems like something that was stuck on the lower front apron for photo purposes. Like only the ribbed part of a pressed bumper

No I think that's the chromed 'D' of the Wolfsburger Delikatessen' 49 prototype singwriting letter |
