I'm far from expert, but it looks to me like the rivet was never spun, or didn't get spun very well. Looks like a factory error.

The rivit is defiantly flared and easy to take the glass out.

If the glazing had become damaged in a way that made the model look tatty, perhaps the owner decided to remove it in small parts with tweezers, until it had all been taken out, leaving a tidier looking model.

Yep I've picked up a few models through the years with no windows that were otherwise mint and untampered with.
I've seen it on several #31 Lincolns. Probably isn't that hard to remove the windows without disassembling the car.
