Maybe you can provide some detailed pictures from the brackets and the GAP between the mounting holes 3,35" too?
Hi Gerhard, I was preoccupied by having to R&R the battery, external voltage regulator [RVR] and alternator on both of my trucks. Just as I had the Orange Stepside almost ready, the '71 Jimmy did the same thing. I still have to exchange the ALT on the GMC.

[They're like spoiled little girls. <<Well, you bought HER a new Batt and EVR, so I won't start until you buy me some, too.>>]

Since my mechanic didn't show up this morning [hung over from a Colorado River Toad party] I thought I'd measure my West Coast Jr Mirror brackets.
Upper Bracket, [bolt center to center] = 2''
Lower Bracket , [''] = 2-1/4''
Distance of Arm upper to lower = 19''.

This is a GM-supplied swing arm RV, Jr mirror. It's listed on the SPID as an option. Painted white. I repainted them in 1977, possibly again later, but honestly don't remember. Burned off mostly now. It's a work truck, not a toy.
I bought this truck in 1973.
