I've been down the same road with my '64 and the passenger's side mirror. The explanation I received was that a passenger side mirror wasn't a factory option in 64 but that individual dealers would mount an aftermarket mirror on that side for customers at the dealership. Went to the junk yard to look at Tbirds to find a usable replacement mirror only to find 3 different types of passenger side mirrors on 3 different cars. Each one however, had the correct driver's side mirror with joystick control.
Ended up removing the mirror & mount completely, puttying up the mounting holes and repainting the car without a passenger side mirror. The car is considered "correct" with only a driver's side mirror anyway.
