Broke my latches

Do latches break in the same place or is it me? These both broke in my pockets as I made the mistake of putting them in my shorts and they seem to have both broken in the same place.
Can't believe Oakley don't offer a replacement frame
But can anyone help I know there are few types of latches but can anyone identify the two latches I have broken
If I am speaking non sense happy to be corrected -thanks in advance

The fact that they broke in the same place isn't very surprising to me. There's probably a stress riser formed at that transition from the orbital to the nose bridge.

Based on your pictures I'm going to throw out a guess and say yours are the ones below

Thanks so much I always thought there was just one latch with High bridge Asian model variants etc all 53mm lens but I got told there are way more variants
The latches broke not sitting on them but in front pocket I assume they went across my leg and wishbone cracked as you say in the transition

Not too sure, even James Janards O Matter Oakleys, would have survived the stresses that were given to those Latches.
