No, no, no. These aren't cheap junk E-bay hot-rod mirrors.
Those mirrors in your photos are fantastic--I have them on my Pantera. They are Vitaloni Californians--made in Italy. They have been out of production for years, but Talbot Co. purchased a large inventory (600 sets???) and is pretty much the exclusive source for them:

Pegasus racing also shows these mirrors on their website, and their asking price is substantially less:

I wouldn't be surprised if the website prices were out of date, as reportedly they buy these mirrors from Talbot, and Talbot is getting $89 apiece or something like that.
Note that they are available with both flat and convex glass. I have flat glass on mine and am satisfied, but if I had a choice I'd opt for the security and slightly wider field of view that convex glass offers.
Yours is a beautiful car, and I'm sure these mirrors will complement it well!
