Lynn,
Those mirrors were a standard British WD fitment and called 1924 Pattern. Presumably when they were introduced, as with '37 Patt webbing, etc. The Canadians produced the CMP to a British War Office spec. so one can assume they are Brit. design?
They were still issued in British Army up into the 1970's, primarily on the Ferret scout car.
Incidentally, I still use these mirrors on my Bedford QL, many people cannot get on with them as everything looks too far away !
