I suspect the other glass is some cheap aftermarket stuff. I can't see Toyota installing unsafe glass.

Safety glass is *not* laminated. Safety glass is what is commonly found in side windows of automobiles. When it breaks it explodes into thousands of small... safe... pieces. Laminated glass is two sheets of tempered glass with a thick plastic sheet glued between. It stays generally in sheet form no matter what hits it.
