That's what I thought, but not necessarily for wireless use only: the caption above refers to it being in use by AFPU cameramen.
We know there was a HUP with penthouse - see below.
So the idea developed earlier on during the war may have been the trigger to develop the penthouse. Note how the canvas was rolled up on the roof when not in use. The version depicted below used tent poles to keep the penthouse upright. The one pictured at the top of this thread had a tubular frame plus poles.
