The window brand is apparently unidentifiable, we had to have the glass company make us a replacement. The markings on the cam of the latch read "A-S PA 9778", the actual latch bracket has the numbers 97 over 96. The catch, or receiving end, of the latch is mounted into the face of the upper window in a notch, this latch sits down into a routed out cavity on the top of the window. Overall the latch is 2 3/8" across and about 1 1/32" front to back. The screw holes are 1 5/8" on center, and distance from the center of the screw holes to the flat edge of the latch (facing the window) is 1/2".
The originals we have are bronze, but there's only one window in the room, so I could replace with a pair of different colored latches if necessary.

That marking usually indicates an Allen Stevens window, however they've been out of business for some time now. Check our 90-298 and see if you could use this as a replacement. It appears very similar to what you have now.

I have these same sash locks on my windows. Almost all need to be replaced. Did these 90-298 replacement sash locks work for you windows?? Thank you!

I had the same brown colored window locks from the original post. The 90-298 replacements did work. The screw holes are offset the the back of the lock on the 90-298, but there was enough space from the old screw holes to get them screwed in with no issue.
