Exactly. I don't think so.

No, but they can see the top, or part of it anyway. If they go EVA, they can see all of the top, even without leaving the cargo bay, they could go walk on the top if they wanted to. The bottom could be examined if they'd had the manipulator arm onboard, or an MMU, which would allow a "fly around" without risking damaging the tiles by actual contact.
