I wonder if WK2 has windows in the roof, or if the passengers (if any)
will have to fight for spots on windows on one side of the craft to
watch the ascent of SS2.


Why wonder? Wikipedia:

The fueselage design for SS2 and WK2 are shared, so they both have lots of
windows. The nose art is interesting too. ;-)
