In the video linked below, at about time 6:56, the reflector glass can be seen as very dark and hard to see through.  This was also mentioned in the book "Clashes" by Marshall L. Michell III, that the MiGs had somewhat of a front blind spot due to the very thick and dark reflector glass.

Would it be possible to tweak the visuals for this component to reflect these details?

The cockpit footage in that video is all from either a MiG-15UTI or an FT-6, rather than a regular MiG-19. That gunsight is the earlier type found in the DCS MiG-15, not the ASP or radar sight the DCS MiG-19 has.

You are right rossmum, it looks like all the in cockpit views in the vid are from a twin seat MiG-17.  I missed that.

 

However, I did see some images online which still suggests the radar sight glass should be darker:

The cockpit images are near the bottom of the page.

I understand this is an external display model with perhaps some weathered glass, but the radar sight definitely is not the same transparency as the gunsight, like what we currently have in DCS.
