A very good question. Mine had none when I bought it. I had to get a driver's side one quickly to pass inspection for the transfer of registration, but it's mounting plate curves the wrong way and it's not very secure. I'd love an original pair also, but will wait in line behind the OP. Oddly, I don't have a spot for an adjusting joystick. I'd love to see a picture of the OEM mirrors.

Is it normal to have a remote mirror on the drivers ( left) door,and a fixed mirror on the passenger door?
Was this an option?
If so is the gto mirror in the add the "proper " mirror or a close fit?
And does it have a non joystick mate for the passenger door?
Thanks for all the help!
Remote mirror was a option, so was passenger mirror, remote mirror on passenger door was not available 64-67, unless perhaps on full size cars, on midsize and compact cars remote on passenger was not available. If you ordered remote mirror, you still had to pay extra for passenger. Passenger mirrors have different bases than the fixed driver one.
Thanks Indian
You sure do know your mirrors!
So if I ordered the drivers side remote and passenger side fixed from original parts group would they be very close?
My car is not #s matching so quality parts close in matching is ok with me.
What I have now is mirrors that are off of some foreign car from the seventies!
Looks like the originals were missing and these mirrors were what worked out to make it road legal.

Some of those "foreign mirrors from the '70s" are worth money, if in good shape.

I don't know what style your parisienne had originally or what styles OPG sells. I do know most or the reproduction mirrors are chrome plated plastic, originals were cast pot metal. I'm a original kind of guy, either good used or n.o.s. for my cars, the glass must have date code for me.
I bought an offshore mirror, and it's genuine die cast chromed metal. Actually a very nice chrome finish as well. Even has the ring holding the mirror in, and only a mirror expert could tell it from the original one.
If you must have the code, Find a pooched 67 date coded mirror, remove the glass and install it in the repop. I'm sure somebody here might have a stash of code glass.

Same as mine pictured previously from Ames.

I'd like to add my thanks to those of the OP for all the great advice. I'm a bit surprised that a 67 GTO mirror would suit the Parisienne. Sadly, I never see them in my neighbourhood but photos seem to show that the mounting point is on a convex panel whereas mine is concave, as shown in my photo below. The mirror I'm using is meant for a convex panel. It looks like I need the optional fixed LHD passenger mirror for my RHD driver's side. I'm unlikely to find one of them, I guess.

how do you change the glass mirror? you cant change the glass in 64-67 mirrors. so somehow i dont think anyone is going to have a stack of mirror glass

The mirror comes out of the standard sideview mirror a 67 FS Pontiac. It did anyway on my 67 date coded mirror.
I do get that the remote is different. I'm talking "standard" type sideview.
Cheers,
