Okay, this is not perfect (and I have done a bit of guessing), but it (hopefully) will be a starting point.
-R-Plus is a trade name for LoF Pyrolytic Low-E coating.
Listing the coating as "Low-E" is also characteristic of a hard (pyrolytic) coating.
-IGMAC is a Canadian IG certifcation program somewhat parallel to the US IGCC (Insulating Glass Certification Council). So was the window made in Canada? eh?
-03-96 is manufacture date - 3rd quarter, 1996
-E2E probably means it is a triple pane window with 2 low-E coatings on surfaces #3 and #5. Triple pane is very popular in Canada, eh?
-Laminated really puzzles me. Laminated glass tends to be very rare in US / Canadian residential construction. If laminated is intended to relate to something else, I have no idea what that might be. Which takes us to
-S/G may mean "safety glass" which would relate to the laminate as well...is there anything on the window that mentions ANSI Z97-1 or 16CFR1201?
Those are US safety glass standards, but are also commonly referenced in Canada as well.
-and finally, I am guessing that WPG may be the manufacturer? But I cannot relate that to a specific company....maybe a mom and pop shop?
