    I am pretty sure the USA cars have different mirrors then the ROTW cars. But, are the right and left sides slightly different?

    Also,

    - Are the mirror glasses adjustable. If so how?
    - Can the mirrors housings swing in towards the car if need be for shipping or storage etc.

    Seems like most front shots I see have the mirrors looking oddly adjusted, is that just how the owner has them set up?

    The Tipo USA F40 mirrors are a little bit different that the E/ROW ones, in fact I thunk they have part numbers 62821200 / 62821100 for right/left (US) and the Eu/ROW ones have part numbers 62470500 / 62470600 right/left (Eu/ROW).

    Left and right are opposites but the same, and positioned the same.

    Mirrors are adjustable by hand.

    Mirrors can fold inwards/upwards for storage.

    Adjustable mirror stalks are spring-loaded and all settle in the same position when deployed for driving.

    I believe the US glass has the federal safety markings on them which ROW cars dont require which may be why they probably have a different part number.

    Due to US impact rules I guess?

    I can only speculate that it's DOT mandates-related.
