The parking lot has been emptied and painted blue, and a van sits on an elevated faux pier with a huge cloud-covered backdrop to give the cameras below the illusion it is overlooking the ocean, instead of the Paramount Picture Studios.

It's extremely weird.
After checking the other angles, I've changed by mind on what it is we are seeing here. I think rather than a van on a pier, it is actually a boat, and the pier is a wave-motion machine. Evidently the shot was creating a rocking boat at sea. The map romulusnr bookmarked is of the scene turned back into a parking lot after the shooting.
The reason for it, I have no idea. Other than they strung these together over subsequent days. Still, that doesn't explain the same perspective for East and North, but different views.
Now that everyone is thoroughly confused, maybe someone else can explain it.
