Use glass: it might sound obvious, but it still looks the best. Microscope cover slips are available in a variety of sizes. Do one side at a time: set the cover slips over the window openings, and glue with 50/50 water and white glue, applied with a brush and allowed to wick in. When you break a window (not if...) removal and replacement is easy.

1. You don't NEED them tinted.
2. You can tint the if you want to.
Colored clear plastic. From Artist supply store.
Translucent paint. 'Tamara'?
Good luck.

Don't get too dark. I think the Ogininal's had Polarized glass
