FWIW
Yekkes had similar high yarmulka's for sha"tz, baal korei etc.

When I was Rav in wash heights - Inwood - in shul I wore a chazzan style
hat for every shabbos + YT; and on weekdays - the high yarmulka

Note: Yekkes did NOT wear a tallis over the head. At Breuer's baale
battim wore hats or caps.

Rav Schwab and a few other chashuver rabbonim did wear their taleis'm over
their heads, I never did even in my own shul [except during duch'ning]
