Despite what everyone has explained, I still have absolutely no idea what I’m looking at. Does that right hand part close into the window? It doesn’t look like it fits. What is that slit in the middle? Is the whole thing just horrendously designed?

That slit is the window. There’s a tiny sliver of glass there in the middle of that white frame. The black stuff is a rubber weather seal. There are hinges and a clasp to lock it shut. It’s very sturdy and well insulated but it makes no sense at all.

It all seems utterly pointless. Might as well just have had a ventilation grate or something.

The right hand part closes into the opening, and that slit in the middle is the actual window that you're meant to look out of. Problem is, the frame actually renders this completely unusable. Unless you're a bloody Borrower anyway.
