I think you're going to need a new hood, unfortunately. That said, try using the hood with the window pointing down and see if it makes any difference not having the little cover? If it does you could always put a bit of black insulation tape across it.

I too have lost it. I just use the hood as is, no problems at all. Obviously the hole is pointing down. Even when using the camera in portrait mode it doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

There are copies of the Pentax kit lens hoods and also the DA 55 - 300 hood available quite cheaply on eBay. It might be worth getting one, if your lens is one of those, just for the pop out window. If the pop out does not fit, you will still have a functioning hood for a relatively low cost.
