I have less 320 knowledge than any of your pets, but the few 320's I have seen, do not have side mirrors. A quick Google shows some potential options, but it looks like the world's your oyster, pick what you like

British cars of the '60s often had round fender mounted mirrors. I used a round stem mount mirror from a Sunbeam Alpine on my 320.

 

You can get them with one mounting stud or two mounting holes.

The best tripod mirrors are vintage ones. You can find them in wrecking yards still. I personally don't like them very much.

 

Actually, I saw a pair of OEM mirrors, well, probably dealer installed, with Datsun embossed in them, for sale not long ago. Ask around in the truck section. Someone might have a pair.

The 320 would not have come with mirrors out of Japan, but the USA dealerships would add them, as most Americans were used to having them by the 1960's.  The USA eventually Federally mandated mirrors around 1967.  As Stoffregen has pointed out, there are a handful of nice clean small mirrors in the British parts industry.  Moss Motors is likely your best bet, as they likely have all they offer on a page on their website.  Otherwise, you will likely be looking for a late 50's-early 60's British car application ie MG's etc!
