Default Darrin is correct

The Kiwi LP2 has the same mirror head as show in Darrin's pic.

The pivoting mount for the arm makes them more useful than the fixed arm of the rivetted carriers, and easy to adjust when on the go.

I'm considering making a batch of these as they're nearly impossible to find.
