I will take one at the weekend, basically the inner is fine the outer has a jagged but missing from it, so I thought is it perspex?
Can I just make the damage square and glue a piece in?

It's a window, see through, as a result im pretty sure you would see any more damage

Its an old Knaus from the 90's so quite rare, I suspect its a personal import

I have repaired a few on mine - mostly when they have delaminated, completely separated the two halves, clean them up and then stick back together with clear adhesive and clean excess off when dry. I had one where the inner pane had been cracked and I replaced that with a piece of acrylic. All the adhesive repairs are still holding, the oldest being 5 years ago.
When gluing up, both sheets need to be as flat as possible otherwise when fitted it can invoke stress which I found out when one I didn't take enough time over to get completely flat cracked after 6 months. The outer pane might be more difficult due to the shape.

the windows are all the same though....made by a different firm, same as doors, toliets, sinks etc etc....

Parcel tape fixes them for next to nowt 
Caravan breakers will have something similar as the windows are common fitment across most makes.
