Anyone with the actual set is welcome to confirm/deny my statements here.
I have the Paramedic Unit set #6364 which is from the same year (or just
before/after the Main Street set.) It uses 3 of the windows #3855, which
Peeron lists correctly. It also comes with a sheet of stickers which include
2 left to right oriented blinds stickers. Looking at the blueprints at
Brickshelf for the Main Street set I believe that this is what's causing the
visual difference that you are seeing. The "bulge" that you are noticing is
actually a recessed circle in the window. It's only on one side of the glass
and is intended (I assume) to represent a knob or something to open the
window with.
Looking at the piece in MLCad, it's modeled appropriately.
Did this help?
