Thanks for the update. Apologies for misleading you on the hairpin clip. That must have been a postwar change.
To add to my very limited knowledge on prewar windows and how they come out, did your levers have a pin arrangement similar to the one in the illustration? One or two pins fasted to the arm with a cupped washer like affair maybe under some tension from a spring?
Is the opening circled between the two slots the keyhole you mention and by turning the window 90 the pins can be slid in the tracks to reach the opening and then release? Will the pins come out the open ends or is there some kind of blocking?
Is the main window frame assy welded together in any way? There is no way to turn the glass inside the door so the vent frame does not have to come out? Does the vent frame leg form one side of the window channel?

I had been told that, on some cars, the pivot arm is held in place with a removable clip or pin, but in this case, it is fixed, with a keyhole opening in the opposite end of the guide slot. As the window is lifted up through the door sill opening, the glass can be turned and the window bottom slides to the opposite end of it's slot travel and the pin on the raising arm pops out the keyhole, thus freeing the window.
