So, instead of aligning the mounting holes to be parallel with the window
line as the old mirrors were, I should have adjusted the mount to "point"
the mirror first? Wouldn't have looked so stylish, then. As you say, it's
too late.
It seems (both) mirrors are so far down the doors that the adjustment range
is inadequate. (The old mirrors pivot on "top" of their base posts, while
the bullets pivot near the centerline of the mirror.) I noticed in the
Vicky Brit Winter Sale catalogue that Midget mirrors require a plinth for
proper mounting. If that piece makes the base of the mirror more vertical,
perhaps that is what I need.

They _do_ look good, more's the pity!
