Replacement window cranks

Quick Learner from Ohio
I need replacement window cranks. My windows do not show a brand, but I included a picture of the hinge since that might help with identification. According to the measurements I took, product code 39-074 is closest to the crank I need. Is that correct?

I cannot confirm whether our 39-074 can work without knowing your dimensions. Looking at the photos of your awning window, I suspect that the operator you have now isn't the original that came with the window. It looks like an after market product. 

If possible, I'd like you to remove the operator from the window so that we can see the gearing and link arm. I would also like to know its dimensions, especially the screw hole center placement. If you happen to have a window that still has the original hardware, that would also be a big help.

I spoke to the prior owner. He said he thought the windows were installed in the 1970's. There are 10 windows and several of the top and bottom screw holes broke off. I have attached a sketch of the operators. It is hard to see it, but the IMG_8109.jpg shows the fastener that is attached to the window mechanism. The fastener is like 3/4 of a washer that slides on to lock it in place.

Thank you! After reviewing your dimensions, I agree that our 39-074 is the best match we have. The only significant difference appears to be the size of the link arm, but the difference is negligible. I don't think that will prevent the 39-074 from working.
