I think there's a possibility we can figure out which rooftop this is if one of you fine sleuths recognize any of the buildings in the distance.

You're correct,
e_r, the photographer was on the roof of 443 S Los Angeles Street - the Los Angeles Mission shown in your first picture. I've put a red "X" on the image below. There's more pictures of the LA Mission
here.

The brick building on the left is the old Excelsior Laundry at 422 S Los Angeles Street, seen here in 1933.

The building on the right with the water tower (top-center of the Google image) is the old Westinghouse Building at 420 San Pedro Street, also seen here in 1933. My full post on the building is
