That was before the mandate that screen size be viewable area as opposed to the physical dimensions of the picture tube. The round tube also cuts off the sides of the picture anyway, so the window was likely designed with that in mind, so you wouldn't be able to see the picture curving off the edge of the crt face.
As for an enclosure, I was thinking about this for one of my sets... how about making a simple plexiglass box for it, mount the Fada face plate on that, then it'll be like a cool display unit, where you can see the tubes and everything inside.
