I'll speculate that a freight 747 is still fundamentally structurally a plane designed to have windows (with the correspondingly reinforced fuselage) but with minor tweaks.

I'd be very surprised if that's not the case. You'd need a plane that's designed from the ground up to not have windows in any configuration.

Still, if the difference is that brutal, there would be a huge niche for planes that have no passenger version and are designed to never have windows.
