I ended up going to a recommended upholstery/convertible top shop in this area (Pinehurst, NC) and after some discussion it was decided that they would sell me enough window material that I could, by using the original window forms, cut new panels and bond them in place using a marine RTV compound.  This procedure worked well and I now have new soft top windows for a total cost of $54.
 
Thanks to everyone for the input.
 
Happy motoring, George
