Someone asked, so is this original / rare?

My '84 is a base model sc. When I say, base I mean it has ac and tilt and that's it. No pw, pl, pm's, nothing. So that being said. I always thought that my side mirrors were stock for a base s/c and someone on another thread pointed them out as different. So I searched "Paddle mirrors" and the only thing I could find were on GTA's and they look totally different than mine. They look like stock GM mirrors to me, but I could be wrong so that's why I'm asking your opinion. They bolt into the stock holes. Please don't give your "Wow, that's ugly" opinion. I just want to figure out if anyone has seen these before as a stock camaro mirror. I was thinking of replacing them with normal mirrors, but to be honest, they are different and kinda grown on me.

Those mirrors sure look like the mirrors used on export cars to Europe.
Also used on some 1987 US spec. GTAs:
