Only the last two photos are showing for me.
That window appears to be a replacement. I would guess it the inner metal rimmed section is seated in glass seal or sticky putty. Have you tried to dismantle the window? Clips on the outside holding the inner piece in place?

Do you think the glass was replaced and they put it back together without the glazing strips and used that gasket looking piece instead?

It looks like an entirely different window than Shasta normally used... Maybe the inside was set into the original frame? I think one option may be to remove the inset, seal with good caulk and go with it. Another option is to take it to the glass shop.
Honestly, I think you can do better than a glass shop. Take it apart and clean it up really well. See if the inset will come out...
