Almost looks like aftermarket. I've never seen any stock switches that look like that.

On the way home I noticed the brand name was torrex or some such. I think I will wire some stock ones up.

I'm willing to bet someone retrofitted power windows into your car at some point. Looks like they did a nice job if they put the switches in the correct locations. Or I could be wrong and someone put in all after-market switches for some reason.

It couldn't be a cleaner install-- It seems the car was worked on by someone that considered aesthetics when fitting these new options! Nice to see someone that didn't hack the poor car up to do it!

They look a lot like switches from an older Range Rover to me... something like this:


This is from my 1991 model, but they look very similar to what you've got.
Hope this helps.
