I can find no window manufacturer identification on a number of identical windows that the hardware failed on. The tilt latches and balance springs look similar to Swisco, but not exact to those currently listed.. Can you please help me identify parts Swisco has that will work? (Pictures attached).

Thanks for reaching out! I'll need to know the length and diameter from your balance to identify the correct replacements. To determine the color tip, I'll need to know the exact weight of the window sash. Take a look at the video tutorial, tagged below, for more information.
The tilt latch looks like it could possibly be replaced with the 26-243A and 26-244A. Carefully compare the specifications below to confirm.

A window sash weighs roughly 13 pounds. The overall length of the balance rod w/metal spiral as shown is 34 - 3/4 inches. The plastic tube for the balance is 34 inches alone. The diameter of the plastic balance tube is 3/8 of an inch.

Thanks for confirming. You'll need the S900-34 to replace this balance. Our balances have a metal tube but will work just the same as the existing hardware.
The white tip option will support a sash weighing between 7 to 22lbs.
