Nice ones. I've seen that sort of spinner(?) on the Fw189. Is there a purpose for the design?

I had the same question..

The Spinner called Rippenhaube. On a Hamilton Constantspeed Propeller the energy for the pitch of the blades comes from the engine oilpressure. The ARGUS propellers take the energy for the pitch of the blades from the airstream at the Rippenhaube. It is a mechanical constantspeed propeller

Good information here on the workings of the Rippenhaube spinner in this thread about the Fw 189.
