It would depend on the rules of the Rendezvous but generally speaking both sights usually have to be open and unshrouded so that would rule out a Globe style front sight.
Rendezvous are usually time limited to about 1840 and the general public (including trappers) didn't use "target sights" of any kind.
In fact, their sights were usually simple non adjustable iron sights.

Period Correct (PC) to what period? Your GPR being an effort to fit into the period of the percussion plains rifle period could fit in anywhere from about 1835 to 1900, given that those rifles could have been in use during that period. And, a globe front sight could have been installed on a plains rifle during that period.
But, like Zonie refered to, if you are trying to re-enact a certain period such as the rocky mountain fur trade, it probably won't fly.
It would be unlikley to find a hooded sight at an original 'Vous and the modern ones try to tay in the same venue so to speak, this type was used on ML's of a later period most likley on target guns this would be in the time that the cartridge gun and ML guns overlaped or possibly on an earlier ML Buff gun, a ot of the stuff used on cartridge guns was used on ML's even though they were fading out in their useage as the new type guns found favour, when choosing accessories just consider whether it would have been something likjley done or used or just a fact that an item was around at the same time as ML's were still being used, it is sometimes a task to put preference aside for reality.
