Help identifying single-arm awning window operator -- no casting numbers

Quick Learner from Groton Connecticut

Description:

Looking to identify and replace this awning window operator. It's from an older aluminum-frame awning window (bottom-mounted crank), likely 1970s–80s. No visible casting numbers or manufacturer stamps anywhere on the housing or arm.

Measurements:

Top mounting holes: 1.25" center-to-center

Top holes to bottom bracket hole: 5.25" (long dimension)

Housing body: 4.5" long x 2.25" tall x 1" wide

Operator arm: 3" long

White painted finish over metal housing, steel arm (rusted), riveted pivot

Black rubber/plastic bushing at the crank socket, crank handle is missing

The arm connects to the sash and the whole unit mounts at the bottom of the frame. Several windows in the building have the same failing unit, so I'm hoping to order multiple replacements — exact match or a compatible modern substitute would both work. Photos attached showing the housing, arm, and mounting bracket from multiple angles.

Thanks!

Thank you for your patience during this incredibly busy season. I apologize for the long wait.

Your operator appears to be an older version of our 39-025 and 39-026. I believe that these are the parts you need, but review all specs and see what you think. The dimensions match for the most part, but there are some minor differences, so look it over and see what you think.

Note that the length of the link arm isn't as vital as you might think. These windows have some play in the linkage, so as long as the difference isn't too dramatic it should be fine.
