Help identifying my surface-mounted window latch

A home owner from Gainesville, VA says:

I was looking into replacing the latches for some tilt windows in my townhouse. I browsed the pics on this site and was unsure of the exact latches to purchase. The surface-mounted latches I was looking at didn't match the dimensions of my existing ones. I attached the pics of what I'm looking at. Are there compatible latches I could get?

Many thanks,
Joe

Good Morning,

I added some measurement arrows to your images in orange. Please respond with the measurement for each letter in the above pictures. Also, Tilt the window in and take a couple pictures of the tongue. Please include the thickness of the tongue in your response.

Also, do you know what brand windows these latches are from? Do you see any stamps anywhere on the window or the window hardware?

Thanks for the quick response.

2 1/2 inches from the screw hole centers

3 3/8 inches is the length of the entire latch

and the width is approx 7/8 in.

Is there a compatible surface-mounted tilt window latch for me?

The 26-193 and 26-194 Rollyson tilt latches appear to be the closest ones we currently have.
