I have one that looks like that on my car. I believe I got it from one
of our USA chain auto parts stores (Autozone or Advanced Auto). It
has a wedge shaped plastic base and the mirror is somewhat convex
providing sort of a wide angle field of view. The wedge shape back
allows for sticking it on the corner of the larger side view mirror in
order to cover a blind spot which the OEM mirror fails to cover. Try
Googling "blind spot mirror". Here is the one I'm talking about:

Warning - whatever you see in this kind of mirror will be a lot closer
that it looks..... I used them for several years in my Discus-b.
