Those are different frames and different hardware. Circle the type mark before you ask for a price. If two marks share a width, they can still be different products.

More on commercial windows. The five services are on product sourcing. Send the specification for a project quotation.
Is a wide window always a slider?
No. Send the type mark. Fixed, sliding, and hung openings can share a width and still be different quotes.
