got around to looking - Jaap, you are correct, the housings are handed

I never noticed as I bought a mirror for the wrong side of the road purely for three things - the near side electrochromic mirror, and the two wires to fit into my original mirror

its still the best way to get you the correct parts as no dealer will/should sell you parts that are not specific to a given Vin or Reg number - without it they get out of their depth, as Merc know they fitted so many different parts to certain models they have no way to track down the part you want without those details - and then they come unstuck as Merc never made the correct mirror glass available for the passenger side - they only sold it with the joke budget heater failure mess you don't want
