I won't claim to know how this might work out, but given that the frame is in good shape, it might be your best option. The angles of the bends of the long horizontal frame parts where the three pieces are fit to the curve of the rear end cap are the troublesome specs to come by.
Several years ago I managed to back my trailer (far from proud to admit this :o ) into the eave/rain gutter of my garage hard enough to break out the big piece of glass. Because I also bent one of the vertical divider bars in the window the repair shop had to order a whole new window. Even with WRV still in business it took three tries, based on specs and part numbers from WRV, to get the window that fit in all respects. If I could have salvaged the frame I would have saved 3+ months of down time while the parts got un-snafu'd.
I would think it would be worth a try, especially since WRV is not there to provide a stream of part numbers to the glass mfg until you get the right one.
Best of luck
