I count four frames there, exactly the number one would have if one had
each of
the 3 sets that featured the window:

1x6 Window Frame, Shutter Connects, 5H

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name               Year Theme
--- ----- ---- --------------------------- ---- --------------
1   Blue  6375 Gas Station                 1980 LEGOLAND Town
1   Blue  6970 Beta-1 Command Base         1980 LEGOLAND Space
2   Blue  6971 Inter-Galactic Command Base 1984 LEGOLAND Space

But unfortunately, the 6375 frame had a clear pane to it, so it'd be a
better
bet that 2 copies of 6971 would be involved in one's ability to
reconstruct
the set shown.

Of a little more concern (I'd think) would be the seven (7!) 4x6 sloping
cockpit windows in the two-page diorama, which came one-at-a-time:

4x6 Sloping Window, Hinge Connect, 5F,2H

Qty Color        Set  U.S. Set Name           Year Theme
--- ------------ ---- ----------------------- ---- --------------
1   Trans-Yellow 6928 Uranium Search Vehicle  1984 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6882 Walking Astro Grappler  1985 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6872 Lunar Patrol Craft      1986 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6892 Modular Space Transport 1986 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6926 Mobile Recovery Vehicle 1986 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager    1986 LEGOLAND Space
1   Trans-Yellow 6894 Invader                 1987 Blacktron
1   Trans-Yellow 6941 Battrax                 1987 Blacktron
1   Trans-Yellow 6954 Renegade                1987 Blacktron

At the least, most of these sets would have been available concurrently
with
the 250 Idea Book.  Oh, to have been an AFOL with DDI (decent disposable
income)
back then... <sigh>

Check out pp44-45, which requires at least two 6067 Guarded Inn sets.
Wonder how expensive it would be to start from scratch and accumulate
the elements for THAT at this point?  <shudder>

Yes, those are the 1x6x5 large windows.  These are pretty scarce, since
they are available in so few sets.  They can also be found in an old
Dacta Hospital set (there they are black), and in the old Schoolroom
Homemaker set (there they are yellow).

A great window!
