Of course they list them as 09/92. That's when the US model year switch over happened.

My point about the 20 Jahre car is that the individual data is written out and you can clearly see how BMW described the mirrors

E34 and E36 do not share the same part number, yet again BMW referred to the as E36 M3 mirrors on the build sheet.
