cwt = hundredweight, or to you youngsters about 50kilos.
If the windows are single glass as they should be, it will be ordinary domestic window glass believe it or not. Any glazier will cut new for you.
If the frame as well is missing, windows of vans from that era were pretty much a small selection of standard sizes, so look at scrap vans from the CI range and you may find a match sizewise.
You won't find much in the way of over-the-counter specific spares for this van, but you will be surprised just how much of it is generic. Take a look around a well-stocked caravan dealer's spares and accessories section and you may recognise quite a lot! Also you will have to adapt that which is available to replace that which is not.

You are correct; it is a Eurocamper, made by CI (Sam Alper; Sprite) in the early 1970s. It was designed to be towed by the various mini-cars such as Mini, Hillman Limp etc. Well under 10cwt.

Love to see a picture...

I had a mid 70's Sprite Musketeer, Our 1st caravan and we loved it.

It was similar to the one in one of the carry on films.

With ordinary glass in the windows just be careful when manoeuvring the van. When I was a kid in the 1960s I was helping my Dad push the van and my hand went straight through the toilet window and made quite a mess of my wrist!
