Automobile Atlanta has new ones.

The reproductions are nice and available from most of the big vendors. If you want something used and cheaper, hit up the usual suspects.

Yes we do have new ones that are exactly like the 72 and up original factory units.
Funny, years ago everyone wanted to change the factory mirrors to the 80s look 911 flag style so installed tornado mirrors in the factory holes. We saved every factory take off and had at least a hundred of them. THEN the trend reversed and everyone wanted the factory mirrors, so ditched their tornados for our used factory ones. Eventually we ran out. Thankfully the new factory look mirrors are available

One thing to keep in mind is that these mirrors work on both the left and the right sides. Just rotate the head in the direction needed. The downsides is that they all have flat mirrors. No concave mirror available new (to my knowledge). The right mirror becomes somewhat useless but at least fills the holes in the door (if you have them).
Used, "real" right side mirrors are out there, but scarce and expensive.

Concave mirrors WERE available for the Swedish market. You can easily have one made at a glass shop.

The only other oddity with using left hand mirror on the right side is that the stock part number is upside down... I did this for some time until finding a stock passenger mirror.
