Just seen these come up on Facebook! https://becooper.shop/products/sliding-window-catch
Some info from their website...
"This kit is a premium original reproduction. It conforms high quality of manufacturing and ensures a vintage style. THIS IS A FULL AND COMPLETE KIT: 4 chrome latches + 4 white plastic parts + 4 rubber seals + 4 chrome screws + 4 chrome nuts.
The parts are made of Zamak (a mixture of Zinc and Aluminium) and manufactured by high temperature injection in a steel mould. Few other technical materials offer such a combination of strength, hardness and rigidity.
The piston of the mechanism is made of 316L stainless steel to ensure optimal operation and solidity.
The polishing is manual and galvanization is made by hanging plating bath (each piece is manually hung on a frame and then soaked in treatment baths).
A colourless epoxy lacquer is then applied to protect the parts against oxidation."
They're not cheap at 396 euros but they do look very nice!

They look very good!
Expensive, but with the price of crappy originals not far off that. I can see them selling a few.
