One could just start with a taller front cabin and then taper down, but the end result would still be a larger hole in the air compared to a collapsible version.

I did not see any tall caps on just the front end cabs, but one could always create their own. I mean if you have the skill to make a huge top, why not a mini top for the cab?

Perhaps they could be one in the same.

EDIT:
Scheme-3
Added a non-moving shell, simple as can be. Bed at short tail end, forces the toilet/shower location to middle or front for headroom. No back door on this one.
