A couple of suggestions. You might want to find some Borosilicate glass disks that could fit the opening with an appropriate mounting sleeve, or you could try and find a replacement disk from jensen, or other suppliers close to the opening and make a sleeve adaptor as above.
Either way it would make a fun project, learning a lot. Even getting a few engines with that type of glass just to see how to make an adaptor that would work correctly. The use of an O ring might help the seal work better.
Until you had the engine in hand then the solution might follow. It would be great if you had an actual picture of the engine complete or some who had one.
Hard to tell from the ebay listing what shape the rest of the steam plan is in. Looks like no burner, May have been a pressure gauge in that open hole on top, and as you pointed out the steam line and stack would need to be made. Lots small projects, and then a real cool plant, and lots of experience under you belt.
