(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Other than a slight difference in size, are there any other differences?

This is why I ask:
I have 2. I took them apart and cleaned them. I set one up to be a passenger side and the other to be driver side.
The driver's side mirror moves freely up and down and pivots in & out.
The passenger side rotates up & down, but the in & out is fixed to one of 6 positions. It has a hex-type fitting inside
and only moves when the arm is taken off and moved to the next position.

Any thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

There was also a difference in early and late mirrors in the bend of the post. Early mirrors have a 90 degree bend with relatively sharp corners as if a piece of tube was cut a ta 45 degree angle and then welded together to make a 90 degree bend. The late mirrors are more as if they were bent in a pipe bender.
