Replacement tilt latches needed measure 2 7/8 length, 3/4 " on short end and 1 1/2" on wide end. I am unable to locate any markings on the windows

Your window latch reminds me of the right handed latch from the 26-408 Tilt Latch Pair. While I am almost certain these are what you need, you'll need carefully compare the dimensions. Take a look over the diagrams below and see what you think!

Yes that looks right. I will order a few pairs since several window latches have broken.
Can you tell me how to replace--do they screw in or just get popped in and out? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Okay, great! These latches should just pop out and snap into place.
I hope this helps!
