Yes and no, it depends on which view port. These older type tanks had little metal shutters that could close the small, open
view port. You can see the white slots where the shutter (not sure of the exact term) could be slid into place on the M3 light tank.
Here are some photo of the vision shutter-thing inserted into the slots. There is bullet proof glass and a metal flap that could close and further protect the view port.
