Window - inside stop question

Hi all - first time poster here. I've learned so much on this website and thank you all. Here's my specific question: I'm in the process of removing all of my old wooden double-hung windows (and rotting sills/brick-molding) and replacing with vinyl windows. I've seen countless videos and posts where the inside stop is a small decorative piece that is nailed to in interior trim piece; remove the inside stops and the bottom sash comes out. My window appears to be a little different - it was clear that my inside stops were not nailed on top of the trim piece. I pulled apart my garage window to see what was going on, and the stops are stapled onto the window frame behind it. They are also much beefier, measuring about 1/2 x 1. Does this look right to you all? Can I remove these stops safely (without further damaging the window frame behind it) in order to install the new vinyl's? I imagine I would then have to re-trim the window and add new inside stops. See attached pictures for more info. Thanks for your help!
