Defender ones are more stable in that they don't bounce around so much.... Better arms and fixings, better that is compared to the series ones on spindly arms.

Ah yes, just looked at a photo of an S2A, and I see what you mean. My S3 already has the beefier arms, so I guess someone has already changed mine. I didn't realise they weren't always like that.

My series threes have both got them on, if you're going for originality though they do look odd once you know what they are.
 
My 1974 has holes in the wings so I suspect that's where they were originally, I did put them on for a while but with all the shaking about they were a waste of space.
 
Yes if you look at sales brochures from the period there was a huge variety of options..... Including none at all by the looks of it.
 
Agreed, I think the only requirment at that time was the interior rear view mirror, everthing esle was an extra
 
I had to go and look, I thought they went through the door, but its cleverer than that. There are proper brackets that fit under the hinge bolts and hold the mirrors. What's odd is that all the mirrors for sale seem to come without them and I can't find them in the parts book but they look original not home made.
