Before the second world war the panes of glass would have been bedded in putty, and retained with a small cast metal frame pinned through with a brass taper pin. By the time I was involved with repairing them, the cast frame was replaced with this lightweight fabricated version, retained by push-pins into plastic dome nuts on the other side. The putty had been replaced by a rubber gasket, or when not available a run of clear silicone sealant. The glass had become polycarbonate - much harder to break!
