Sorry it took a while to get back to you. Your post got buried among other subjects.
According to drawings in the Anatomy of the Ship Campbeltown (Ross), they show that the back of the bridge house was indeed open. Drawings of the USS Buchanan as transfered, show on the main deck the forward 2/3 of the roughly pentagon shape house was the chartroom. Aft and port of that was the radio room. You are looking at something which was open at the back, but had inner structure.
The bridge deck level had signal flag bags across (waist high boxes) across the back side of the deck. Interior to this was a small "cube" which was the battle bridge.
There are other pictures in AOTS Campbeltown and others which show the mid-ship elevated deck. While the pictures are cluttered and confusing, they show the structure to be open fore and aft. Interior between stacks 2 and 3 was the enclosed galley.
Perhaps Dr Ross will swing by and clarify or contradict my interpretation of his drawings.
