I installed a set of the Land Rover Defender mirrors over the weekend.
You can get them on Ebay for about $110:

I put up some side-by-side photos of the old and new here:

They don't come with gaskets, but it's pretty simple to make some T
shaped gaskets that fit under the Rover brackets from some rubber sheet.

You can also buy the heating elements for these mirrors for about $40 if
you ever drive your van in a cold climate.

They are less expensive than the truck mirrors, easier to install, look
pretty close to stock and have a much better field of view than the
originals.
