it did have an external plate for UV protection but yeah, the windows would probably allow somewhat more penetration by some kinds of higher energy particles....but remember that for particle radiation its the density of blocking material that counts, not necessarily if its opaque to light. But what was the exposure really like anyway? If you exaggerate the dangers then having a window might seem crazy. If you dont, then you see that the utility of a couple small windows outweighs the tiny amount of difference it makes.
Check out picrel, and then maybe read up on the VAB here

how much difference do you think the windows made?
