    The pedestals that mount the mirror are all different from car model to model.
    The 'bullet' that houses the mirror is the common part...
    If you have Maverick stands, then a good bullet will swap on from other period Ford/Mercs. Even a passenger remote with slight modding to get the cable into the car.

    If you don't need perfection, I think others have used different stands and came out with acceptable swaps. Sorry I can't say for sure what models.
