Pop Out Rear Windows

Perhaps my terminology is wrong so bear with me but is it possible to fit pop out windows in the rear of the T25. By this I mean ones that are hinged on the leading edge and unclip at the trailing edge and push out by 3 or 4 inches (like the old Renault 5 if that helps anyone still unclear!)?
Perhaps they were available in the upper spec Caravelles etc. but I have a Trasnporter that's had the windows cut in so it'd be an after market exchange.
Any leads from anyone?

never seen pop out ones, you can get sliding ones though.

I searched a couple of years ago for the very same, no such thing I'm afraid I was hoping for an electric version ala corrado.
Mind you depending on your fabrication skills or the depth of your pockets nothing is impossible.

There were ones designed with a vent at the rear but think they're SA models - would make sense.

Nope. Later Caravelles had the vent up until the last syncros in 1992.
SA's only ever had a 3rd slider on the offside (all years), whether small- or big-window (1991- on). Slider/near side always fixed for safety. Big window buses didn't have the vent in the glass aperture.
