I have trouble imagining a trip across the Pacific Ocean without a roof.

Back on topic, no two Nagara class ship had a similar bridge. As you noticed, some are blocky, others are curvier. The platform for the quad 13mm were also different, as well as the rangefinders, which went from 12ft on Yura and Kinu, all the way to 20 ft on Abukuma.

Here are some good illustrations detailing the bridge structure after their rebuild (pics found on http://www.shipmodels.info):
