Kev, maybe you answered your own question... If you break the existing mirror/glass and remove it. You could take the unit to to glass shop to get the new one cut. You could have them cut it to the correct size, with a slight back bevel and see if you can press it in, using a piece of wood the same size. That might spread the outer edges of the metal apart to allow it to "snap in". Throw the unit in the oven perhaps to help it expand a bit. Throw the glass in the freezer.

Otherwise if you get the new piece cut a little smaller, you could probaby "weasel" it in there and center it. I'm assuming that there is glue on the back of these.

Or do a combination of all of the above. Just throwing some idea-ers out there.

Good luck,

Mark
