Thought I'd add I've seen one or two previously as well. No idea what they are, they are like oversized roof rack ladder/tube holders

Could these be they?
About 30 cm long and 30mm thick?

These antennas are most likely used by vividwireless to to their propagation testing, I have seen a car with these sort of antennas on them and while I was stopped at the lights I managed to have a quick look thru the drivers window and noticed the usual stuff needed for a propagation testing car.
Things have progressed somewhat since I last did that sort of job many years ago, GPS makes things much easier.
