Thought so. "Raised Detail", you hear that bd? Glad to know they're making them both ways now.

It's amazing how interchangeable these trucks are

Here's the 'correct' side mirror on a '80.

Didn't know they ditched the dumbo mirrors that year...

The term "dumbo mirrors" is misused and confused time and time again. They called the 3 legged "dumbo" mirrors Below Eyeline Mirrors. In 1980 the regular "Truck" Mirrors were introduced and also called Below Eyeline mirrors but have the mount hidden under the cover. In 1981 they were also available in white, not just stainless.  PS those round mirrors I assume you are joking. The attached shows the 79 mirror options.

One of those pics (bottom left) is from San Diego, when you could still DRIVE on the beach! Stinkin doo-gooders...well, having said that, there IS one beach left where you can. Fiesta Island. You should see the looks of the above referenced ilk when they see you driving...Shock, disgust, and in your face! till you say calmly, 'hey, it's legal to drive on the beach here'...

I'm not well versed on 'all things correct', so assume these are factory rounds. There is no other bolt pattern on the door.

In fact, when trying to remove, one of the factory threaded plugs started turning in the door skin. Good thing I had planned to restored the door soft parts and had access to tighten.
