Yes I have 1 piece electric windows and they do not interfere with the Altman latches.
Initially I was going to follow a guide on here for one piece windows (maybe grims and blackdog?), who advise you need to cut the rear channel out and move it back for it to work. If you follow there instructions I am sure it would work but i decided I wanted electric. I bought the specialised kit and you do not need to remove the rear channel so now I need to refix it in place, I found the channel but not the lower bracket so I need to make a new one, thats the only reason I havent completed the job yet.

Looking forward to seeing the latch install completed as I've considered it as well.
As above. its all pretty much done other than fabricating a new lower rear window guide channel support and welding it back in place. The left door shuts fine, the right is complete and only doesnt work properly as when the panelbeater did my cab corners and steps a few years back he made the door gap too small. Its off to a new panel beater in a few weeks to have this fixed.
