Then I had a DUH moment and saw that they had a plastic film between
them to make them shatterproof.


It's called "laminated safety glass", Ig. It's the stuff they use in auto
windshields. Two sheets of glass with (originally) collodion filling
between... now an acrylic polymer.


Yes, I believe that it is the old style safety glass. The new
windshield glass is simply tempered, not two layered. As far as what I
know, they stopped using that glass years ago in cars.

I'm pretty sure the front windshield is still laminated. The side and
rear glass is tempered.
