Question remote control side mirrors

I have a set of Chrome plated cable operated side mirrors. I have been told they are from a 1969 Camaro previously owned by my deceased father-in-law. Having trouble verifying this with 'on-line' searching. Does anyone have a suggestion about who or where I can match these mirrors to a vehicle make & model?

There was a left side only remote control mirror option, RPO D33. Looks like this, page 83: 1969 Left Side remote mirror
If you have left and right side remote mirrors, they're originally from a different model.

Thanks, that answers one question. The mirrors that I have are circular rather than rectangular. The closest thing I have seen in my websearchs was on a 65 Pontiac GTO.

Wouldn't be from a 67 Camaro either. For all 1st gen years, it was a left side only option.

Swede, look on the under side of the mounting flanges and see if there are any casting numbers. That may help you find what make of car those mirrors actually did come from.

Thanks. The casting numbers are D60105-401 and there is a Jc #. I tried using that number for a part number search but did not get any hits.

Thanks again, the casting numbers are D60105-401. I tried a search of GM part numbers using this but got no hits. Did not know where to go from there. I just want to determine if these are worth posting on Ebay. They should be good for the right person.

Early 1960's Buick & Pontiac. Do your mirrors look like this: Remote Mirror
