I think it is radar control for the flak cannon that pops up out of the hatch during engagement with low flying seagulls.

Close but no seagulls up there..................

It is probably a radar dome and the other end has a skylight view port maybe a mobile UFO hunter rather like the storm chasers you see on TV.
Either that or he has perfected the first mobile pressurised water reactor small enough to fit in an eriba and is using it to go off grid.
Would explain why the skylight and windows are open at that altitude......... to let the heat from the reactor out.

Where do you think the flux capacitor is fitted?

By the way that's not the first Eriba with a satellite dome I've seen.
One turned up at Derek's first Wareham mini meet a few years ago and again at the Bodensee Eriba Eurofest. it was on a Puck giving it a passable submarine conning tower look.

It's the fixed roof that fascinates me. Looks very complicated.

Perhaps they're just very short and don't need an elevating roof?

Ah but the roof is raised Denise. Looks like they've re-designed the front and side curved roof to make it higher I think, although it doesn't give you the same increased height a pop-top would give you.

I've got it!

The owner is a Homepride flour grader who wants to be able to stand upright while still wearing his bowler hat.

Unfortunately, his scope for movement is somewhat limited and as is so common with these personalised adaptations of what was a perfectly good product, he'd have been better advised to have left well alone.

Mystery solved.

You're all wrong, it's clearly over the trampoline so that you don't hit your head whilst bouncing.
