I was revisiting some old pics the other day to show the factory suicide quarter lights but also noticed the sliding window catch looks different. The same shape as a Barndoor ‘butterfly’ catch but with what looks like the much latter style ‘bunny ears’ on top?

I'm guessing it's a laminated glass catch (as opposed to toughened glass). The metal part with the holes that the latch fits into is sitting up much higher than usual too
