Default Will these mirror be right?

Hey all I am trying to purchase a new set of mirrors because the other one are magnified and I don't think that is even factory original. I have a 1979 shovelhead FLHC and stumbled upon
these mirrors on ebay. I was wondering are these the same mirrors supposed to be on my bike and most importantly are these non magnified mirrors? I'm really trying to keep the bike as original as possible and I don't want to replace it with non original Harley Davidson parts

Those look like the stock mirrors. I just took them off mine and replaced them with the ones I had on my EVO. They sort of look like outriggers to me.

Back in the old days it was normal to have magnified mirrors? I'm only 24 so I don't really much know how things were run back then
