Mirror Wire Dilemma

I'm considering replacing my electric flag mirrors with aero mirrors that I purchased.

I've read every post I could find on the topic and even the old Excellence article and figured I was good to go.

Everything I read describes my car as having 5 wires that go to the mirror:

Brown, Gray/Green, Black/Blue, Red/White, and Blue/Gray.

Mine has 7 wires going to the mirror:

Two blue wires, two white wires, a brown, a black, and a green.

The aero mirror has a red, a white, a blue, and a black wire and seems to be in order (except for lacking the brown wires that I think heat the mirror)

Does anyone know if the 7 wires are normal for an 86 Carrera and if the car can be connected to the aero mirror?

Forgot pics

Forgot to post these yesterday...

This is the current wiring harness:



This is the aero mirror I would like install if possible.



Does anyone know if they are compatible somehow or will I have to install the old mirror motor into the aero mirrors?
