Great find!

Interestingly enough, I think building #22 next to Hangar 19 is actually not a weapons bunker but an optics storage building. It likely stores optics similar to what are shown in the film.

You can see the white domed trailers of cinetheodolites parked there. Here are some photos of these at TTR: https://ttr.sandia.gov/optical-systems/

Perhaps the berms by the building are for parking the optics trailers to get a better view of the runway and sky?
