Meanwhile in Brazil, AFAIK the rare RHD imports were mandated to have both exterior mirrors. There is at least one RHD VW Beetle which was imported by a diplomat from Mozambique in the '60s in São Paulo, and it had exterior mirrors on both sides. And even though most of the regular LHD Beetles that i still see on the wild feature both exterior mirrors, recently while walking the dog I saw a '95 Itamar with just a driver-side exterior mirror.
Back to the RHD issue: even though it could be legal to drive one without a left exterior mirror, I wouldn't be so willing to try.
