My screen door looks different than yours. My OEM latch "body" cracked and quit working October 2021. Went to a local RV parts store and bought one (~$25) that looked identical - but I could not make it fit and work like the OEM. I damaged the new latch while trying to "beat to fit". Went back to the RV store and bought a different latch (another $25). I made it "work" with some exceptions. The plunger hits the door jamb perfectly (bottom photo), and I can manually lower the handle and clip it into the holder that keeps it attached to the door - but it will not latch to the clip like it used to work. You can see other screw holes where my old clip was located. Basically - I treat the screen door and main door like a queen on a throne and everything works good enough.
