[s-cars] Do the S car's have different mirrors? 2nd try

I think they are different among model years and even within
some model years the Avant mirrors may be different from the sedan
mirrors  (just like the open vs closed headrests issue.)

The 95 (and up) A6/S6 sedan had a different mirror from the previous car.
It has a fat round base with a solid arm coming out of it, and just
one ball joint that pops into the mirror.

The previous years, and I think even the 95 S6 Avant, has a different
style, with a smaller rectangular base and a double jointed arm with
two ball joints, one of which pops into the back of the mirror.
I bet the two sets of balls are different sizes and can't be mixed.

You can see some of these differences in the family album.

It's also possible that on any one individual car something
may have been done to it over the course of the last 10 years to
change the mirror (perhaps because of a windshield changing event.)
