Info on this style hard top sliding window?

I friend sent me a picture of this sliding window for a Blazer/Jimmy. I haven't ever seen this style. Does anyone know anything about these?

Re: Info on this style hard top sliding window?

Sorta look like first gen rather than a later model shape to me but I could be mistaken. The single pane first gen sliders I have have a division bar that’s riveted into place not held by screws as shown in your pic - any other photos to help figure it out conclusively?

From what I know there are two style each with or without tint. One style is a double pane slider very similar in build to pickup factory slider rear windows. The single pane sliders are simpler and I like the look a little better. It’s the single pane style that would be easiest to reproduce.

Below pic shows single pane examples with and without tint and a tinted double pane example.

Thank you. I don't have any other pictures available, but I'll see if I can't track some down. I like the single division bar look as well. If I'm reading your post correctly, that's the single pane.
I haven't seen either in person, but the single just doesn't look as "busy". Of course I would be happy to have either one

I’ve seen both (on here). Seems the single slide is not as common as the truck based look. I would like to have the single myself but have never come across a set. Not sure if the same company made them. I would think the single slide could be adapted into the double by changing the glass if you have the frames.

Great information everyone, appreciated. For me the dream is alive for quality reproductions someday.
