If you can give us the dimensions of these windows we can compare them with what we have and may be able to make a determination that way. The bevelled windows I have seen were smaller than originals, but I have only seen two cars like that.

I just measured mine, which I am pretty sure are original, and they measure 14"x9". They are not bevelled, and the have 12 screws attached from the inside.

The braces in your photo look correct, but may be repros, which I understand were being made a few years ago, though I have never seen an actual set.

Here are a couple photos that show a correctly restored car and an original vintage shot. You can see the approx. size and placement, and the glass appears to be flat in both pictures.
