Would you be able to post the coding on the bottom left of the top - specifically the "M" code, is it M1131?

I am very interested if they are

As I suspected, those are not OEM as glass wasn't offered in '74 (to my knowledge). Those are what's called "moon roofs", meaning they're original fiberglass tops that have been cut and either glass or plexi has been bonded in place. Still not a bad deal to have and rather unique for people who are actually looking for some.
As for value, I can't even venture a guess of what the market would ask. I sold a pair similar to those a couple years back and I can't remember exactly but I think I got $250 for them.
Good luck.

I spoke to the previous owner and said he think they are from a '76. He bought them for this car, but isnt sure they are a perfect fit.

WHOA! I LIKE that idea! Ive got a set of ratty T-tops that I could use as a donor (well, they are my ONLY t-tops) Has anyone here done this with any success?

Good luck.
Those were made by a company that had some sort of a contract with Chevy. All of the parts are factory t-top stuff, and they were sold as an accessory through Chevy dealerships. The glass is good quality automotive glass, and they have the advantage of giving quite a bit more headroom than the stock roof panels.

The good news - unlike some of the aftermarket T-Tops out there, stock weatherstrip fits perfectly on these.

If the glass is not cracked or broken I'm in for $75 plus freight to ZIP 31408. These will require painting to match body color, and probably new weatherstrip as well. Thanks for your consideration!
