Those would be aftermarket windows installed after delivery from the factory.

Come to think about it... I don't think rear windows were an option for panels

You know, this jogged my memory. I saw this at our local car show a few years back:

It was a School Bus for a very small district somewhere in Wyoming. The owner had lots of documentation and pictures of when it was used as such.
It could be that this is another along those lines. Those windows don't look like the usual hack-job that some PO's do-they look proffesionally done.

save it, restore it (bang out the roof esp) and then turn it into a camper!
