Tilt window latches

I believe these are probably the right latches for my windows (26-243 & 26-244) but there are a couple of differences I want to ask about. Cosmetically, the latches I have have a big "R" or "L" on them. No big deal,I'm assuming this is simply because yours aren't the exact brand. The measurements all look exactly the same except for the difference between the two measurements for the triangular part that retracts (the actual latch). Yours have measurements of 3/8" and 1/2". The difference in mine is far more subtle. Best I can measure I'd say they are just slightly more than 3/8" and 7/16". As I said I think these should work...My only concern would be that the (1/16") wider latch wouldn't quite fit behind the edge it needs to fit against (see photo).

Including both the latch assembly and the window corner it came out of. Thanks.
