My guess: currently used as towing points to tension the parabolic structure. You can see some wires in the picture. And probably also a helpful structure during construction.

Perhaps it's an optical illusion. This photo seems more regular and confirms the tie-down aspect (I'm sure it's how the curvature is maintained). https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=43786.0;attach=1448995;image https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=dlattach;...
