Yes this is the mirror that was recently on ebay. As Brian said there is no Left or Right on these. Same mirror, you just rotate the head 180 degrees depending on which side it is on.
Brian, welding a washer to the head of an allen key stock is a perfect idea. As long as the "stand-off" sits level against the door skin, then I agree that nothing being the moulding would be needed.

Kev,
I bought a side view mirror for my '53 Caribbean from Bob's Packard Parts at Perrysburg/Fremont about 5 years ago. Reasonable price (~ $150 as I recall), decent quality (no pitting but a slight curve on the base). Here are his coordinates: Robert Stoltzfus 122 Stackstown Rd Marietta, PA 17547 (717)426-1446 bobspackard@aol.com Don't know if he has any more or is still in the parts business. Worth a shot.

Yes, Bob Stolzfus is still very much in the parts business and is a real gentleman, just great to do business with and usually has the best prices around. Not as broad an inventory of items as the major national vendors but always worth a call.

That's good to know that there isn't a left and right. I just knew that there was an off set on the mirror for each side and didn't try to spin mine around to see if it would be for both since I didn't want to break it. Learn new things all the time. Well hopefully there will be some others that come up.

I'll vouch for Bob Stoltzfus as well. Good fellow to do business with.

Bob is a great guy to deal with. I bought an intake manifold from him. I called him and he sent it to me even before I paid him.

Meanwhile, a thumbnail that turned up in the Random Photos box this AM led me to an image of the correct, correctly mounted on the RH door - 1954 Panama Mirror.
A little curiosity led me to an alternate view on same car - 1954 Panama Mirror 2.
