Broke a window latch and looking for a replacement fixture

Hello! My window was not closing completely, and I tried to crank the window latch too hard in order to lock it for the night, and the handle broke. I have attached some photos. Any idea where I could find a replacement? The only thing I could find written on the handle was "World Pats 1/3 L"

We may be able to supply this lock, but I'm having trouble identifying it. Would it be possible to see an undamaged version? Can you also tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center?

Here are photos of an undamaged unit. The distance between the mounting screws is 1.5" center to center.

Thank you! With that measurement and these photos in mind, I recommend the 38-173 lock. We also sell the 38-174 for the opposite side. Look these two locks over and let me know what you think.
