I'm looking to pick up a date code and manufacturer correct plain round mirror for a future re-restoration on my '71 Challenger. My original mirror was removed sometime between 1971 and 1990 before I acquired the car.

So far I've found that there were at least 2 manufacturers - DMI and JC.

Example 1: "2-DMI-0"
February of 1970 made by DMI

Example 2: "10JC0"
October of 1970 made by JC

On moparts I read a claim that late '70 production and throughout '71, JC was the manufacturer showing up on the glass.

If you are a '71 e-body owner that still has your original mirror(s) what date code and which manufacturer is on your mirror along with either your SPD or VON?

TIA

My '71 Barracuda has a SPD of 812 and VON 023695.
It has a G33 chrome remote racing mirror with a date code of "7JC0".
