Sliding window catches

Can anyone solve the riddle!
On the sliding door panel, the window slides open and closed, and when I bought the van it had 2 holes presumably for some sort of catch, as there is nothing to hold it closed, also my van was broken into a few months ago, and when I had the glass replaced (this time the same size window on the other side of the van) the glass that was fitted had the same 2 holes in it. I have checked everywhere I can think of online, but cannot find a reference to such windows, let alone any replacement catches. I don't know the history of the van, so it may be that the windows are not standard. If anyone could shed any light on this that would be great. Its a 1990 1915 petrol automatic model.
Cheers
Angel.

Even if you find the right sort of catches for your windows the trouble is you will have right sod of a time fitting the buggers while the windows are still in the van.
(lower securing screw is inaccesable )

It may be easier to fit good second hand windows complete with catches.
