Hello,

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380-27 or S385-27 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. You'll also need 2640 spring strength options for your replacement balances.

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Great, as I mentioned in my original response, you'll need a 2640 spring strength option based on the stamp number shown in your photos. If you want to test it, you'll need to remove and weigh the window sash. There is a chart under our balance product description that will tell you what strength option you need based on the sash weight. Thank you!
