MY12 Is this factory fit privacy glass?

Hi Hoping someone might be able to help please

Photo in my gallery shows car looking to purchase.
It was my preference to have factory fitted privacy glass but reading through the forums seems that if you can see elements in windows it's an aftermarket tint.
I've looked at VIN build in TOPIx and it lists OPTIKOOL GLASS but no mention of privacy.

Maybe I’ve answered my own question but just looking for affirmation from those in the know.

Thanks in advance

From here, it looks like aftermarket. You can see the filaments in the window easily, you can't with factory glass. Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:

Aftermarket as said above

These are mine with factory fit - note the heated screen is invisible and no lines around edges

Thanks all, appreciate your responses.
Confirms what I had thought.

Given the spec on Vehicle ticks all other boxes of what was looking for I don't think it's a big negative in the scheme of things.

Been looking for nearly 8 weeks now and pleased to be this close
