Did AMC ship any of this body style with non-remote adjustable mirrors on the doors? All I can find are remotes, which I hate and are expensive. 

Not concerned with correct, but the mounting is unusual on that the surface is nearly vertical.

Hornets and Gremlins came with a standard, oval shape driver's door mirror that was non-remote. The optional mirror was the remote sport mirror-same shape as, but different base from what was available on other models.

Are you looking for a basic mirror?

Yes, looking for a basic mirror. Every repro I found was remote control. 

Actually I'd like a pair, there's a budget for these, so new/repro/excellent-to-good is the goal.

There's a lot of earlier mirrors that look great, but the Hornets door shape is unusual (for the AMC era anyway) in that the mounting surface is nearly vertical.
