I found a set in a local junk yard and a second set on EBay. Actually, they're on EBay all of the time. When you're looking it may be helpful to know that Ford called them Western Long Arm mirrors. Also, many people refer to them as Junior West Coast mirrors.

West Coast Mirrors

I wanted regular size ones. I ordered in new ones from more than one company and none were right. I search ebay for months and nothing. I went to the "Ford" bone yard for something else and right up front sat a U haul truck with them on. i walked past this truck 20 times and never noticed them. I asked how much and the guy said he just had to have $20.00. I would have paid $100.00.
Point being, I think both juniors and reg,s are hard to find.

i might be wrong but a buddy tells me they were also on step vans and when you call around mention this. The heads might not be the correct ones but maybe the pipes are.

Seriously, none of these match what you're looking for?

are the ones on my crew considered "west coast" mirrors? I have never really understood this term as it seems vague to me. From what I can tell it refers to anything remotely looking like mine???

here's a link to the pic in my gallery

IMO these all kinda look the same to me (round tube with a rectangular mirrow attached). Is one stock/factory style more rare than another?

Those are "low-mount Swing-Lok mirrors" according to an Explorer ad I have. I have the same thing.

as per the video, they are Jr west coast mirrors (stainless) I like those the best.
regular west coast mirrors are full height mirrors like a F-600. I like those too, but they are seldom stainless, all mine are painted.

keep looking, they are out there, I've had a couple sets over the years.
