My 2 are glassless, don't have protruding sills, but do have little bumps to hold glass in. My one white one is the same. My red
ones include 1 like that, but with glass, and one CA one w/o glass but with protruding sill, and does have the little bumps to hold
the glass in.

Both of mine in yellow have glass and protruding sills, the glass is held in by a tab on the glass fitting into a small hole between
the studs. The top of the finger on the bottom is slotted. My one white one has glass, non-protruding sill, slotted finger, but uses
little bumps to hold the glass in. My red ones include a bunch of CA, all but one with glass, all have protruding sills, have a hole
in the top for the nub in the glass AND have bumps on the sides, the finger is solid. I have two which are ABS w/o glass but
otherwise the same as the CA ones. I have a bunch of red ABS ones w/o glass, w/o holes, w/o protruding sill, with bumps, with
slotted finger.

I have 2 yellow w/o glass, w/o protruding sill, w/little bumps, no hole. My white ones are the same except they all have glass. My
red ones include a bunch w/glass, w/protruding sill, w/o bumps, glass looks like it's glued, one of these is CA. 4 more have no
glass, protruding sills, and bumps. The rest are all w/o glass, w/bumps, w/o protruding sill.

I've got to run now but I see 5 types of red door (6 if you also count door knob on left or right separately, so potentially this
means 10 types), and 2 each for white (potentially 4 with door knob positions) and yellow (potentially 4 with door knob positions).
I need to get back to you on details, and on the 1x6x3 windows.
Back to the 1x6x2 shuttered windows, did you observe the thing I saw where some windows have a non-protruding sill which doesn't
extend the full width of the window? I need to try and take a picture of my windows. It seems like there might actually be 7
varieties.
Also, on all of your varieties, have you noted differences if the fingers have slots or not?
