Original as close as possible, concourse no, I suppose I shouldn't worry and just drill the two holesI would assume only if you want it to be all original or concourse. Sure would help drive-ability!
That's why they went to them. Customers complained about the blind spot. But you still have the issue with the rag top.My 55 top has quite a blind spot; hopefully 56/57 tops/w port holes are better.

This whole discussion about where to put mirrors is interesting. I don't know if it's still true but Japan at one point required mirrors on the passenger and possibly the driver's side also way out on the fender. Almost too small and too far away to do any good.
Looks dumb, and I'm nearsighted.I remember photos of those Japanese cars. Never understood it as it would seem to be impossible to see anything in those small mirrors set so far away. And it looked weird.
What ever works. I just keep my head on a swivel and pay attention to my surroundings. As far as pulling into the garage, just practice. You'll get it down. I have a 2X4 scrap that I use as a stop so I can get around her when tinkering. Wife uses a pendulum from the rafters to park next door so I have room for my work bench.If located in the same position as the driver side

Well I think my question has been answered the mirror is going on with no second thoughts, in a spot that makes it useful
