I can’t imagine KCS buying a used E7 and adding new porthole windows. But this is not an area of expertise for me. I’ll ask any KCS and MC experts chip in here.

Caption with a picture of KCS E7 #12 states it was bought from MEC, but I haven't seen one in an early MEC green/yellow/gold stripe paint scheme similar to the one B&M used (with maroon and yellow/gold striping). Here are links to a couple MEC units:

Small/square portholes: http://wxtoad.rrpicturearchive...ture.aspx?id=3552424

I can't find a roster showing how many KCS E7s they owned - did they purchase any new, or were they all from MEC? If they purchased new they could have had the round porthole variant.

To make matters worse, I turned up a b&w shot of KCS #12 with standard rectangular windows - this is certainly screwy: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/571686/
