well, you win the "WTF" award

only images I can find are in boxes, for sale - none mounted on a vehicle

best description I can see is "Japanese Version Panorama Mirror"

Not a tow mirror, its a fender/wing mirror. Mounts to the hood. You see them a lot in Japan on delivery/taxi vehicles.

That's just asking to be ripped off on the first trail and fugly to boot, see them mostly on Jap imports like the Toyota Surf they were grey imported into AUS.
