This pic doesn't show the latch itself but you can see:
A) The two rivets that hold the latch on from the inside, and
B) No HOLE through the glass which is how the latch attaches on the later ones.

Aftermarket ones that I have seen don't have any aluminium frame at all - they are just glass with the latch through the glass (like late model originals) but just seal against rubber on the body (if that makes sense).

This pic doesn't help much re. identifying popouts but you can see them open on my bug here:

now i see the difference. the seller advertised them as pre 65 pop outs. I certainly dont want to pay for them but will offer him some cash for the mess up. although they were wrongly advertised.

Research before you bid.
As some model beetles have different size windows.
The best way to tell is latches fitted to the glass are late model and latches fitted to the frame are early.
