Default Broken Rear Quarter Glass

Well my C30 R-Design drivers side rear quarter window has somehow managed to shatter think it was a stone.
My question is the rear windows have a tint on them and looking on Ebay for a replacement glass they are all clear, not tinted.
Did the C30 ever come with the option of "factory" tinted or will it just be an aftermarket film applied as I can then just get a clear replacement and get it tinted.

If it was an aftermarket film, you'll see it on the broken glass - it'll hold all the shattered fragments together. If it was factory, then the glass itself will be tinted, and you'll see the darker colour in each broken piece, and they'll come apart easily.

Thanks, yes the broken fragments are all held together so as I suspected it's an aftermarket film so I can go ahead and get a clear replacement glass.
