No.  The Falcon mirror is about 20% bigger

Bernie, perhaps you could try a TC Cortina rear view mirror, sticks onto the windscreen, if you can find one, that is!

Current ride:
'83 Mk.3 Capri, 2.8i, 5-spd

I have  aftermarket mirror (Morey Haigh?) I bought in the early 1990s. Sticks to the windscreen like OEM Falcon, but is the right size (narrower) for the Capri.  The OEM Capri mirror just crumbled when touched - 20+ yrs (at that stage) of good old Aussie sunshine.

Escort TC-D Cortina and Capri all use the "3/4 size" mirror, the falcon is wider, Id have to measure one to give you the size

Mine ('tho aftermarket) is 215mm x 60mm at widest points.  Looks same as Falcon style.
From my seat position, the rear window image is just larger than the mirror view.
And definitely a lot smaller than a Falcon one (e.g. my old XB).
