IIRC, they are civil types (with Mods for operating equipment) and the engineers had (Civil) Part 66 licences to be able to certify them. So, if I'm correct, they could go to the civil market again (Which, I believe, was the original plan anyway!)
Also without windows, would the added structure to house the windows have ever been installed as it would be cheaper stronger and weight saving just to have skinned it minus openings, it’s not like a freighter conversion where they are replaced with metal blanks that could be changed back. I wouldn’t be surprised if the floor structure was stressed differently for the consoles and sideways facing seats.
