Hey Glenn
The material of the table is Makrolon. It is stronger and less flexible than acrylic (plexiglass)
The cabine windows are probably Lewmar brand acrylic and for most of the models you can find spare for them by Lewmar.
There are product numbers engraved in the acrylic windows.

Thanks Wild
Makrolon seems to be Polycarbonate in Aus they dont seem to sell 15mm but do have 12.7mm so that should ok
And will go with Acrilic for all the windows would you have any idea of the cabin side window thickness ?
regards Glenn

So far I know for Lewmar low an medium hatches there are replacements kits.Acrylic,seal ,handles and friction lever caps.
If your low our medium hatches have some years the special seals will be destroyed by removing the acrylic.
For the Ocean series you have to replace the complete lid, it‘s almost impossible to remove the acrylic out of the lid.$$$ and the plexiglass only is not longer available by Lewmar.
For opening portlights there’s a replacement kit plexi +hinges 
For fixed portlights there’s no replacement kit at all.
You find al information www.osculati.com ,download catalogues
