Cabin trunk, or trunk.

I use coach house. I've heard a ton of these variations, though,
including "saloon top", "saloon deck", "cabin deck" and so on.

They only should be called pilot houses when they contain a separate
and more or less enclosed steering station, although quite a few of
those are just hard dodgers on steroids.

In the UK it's mostly called the coachroof or cabin top, with the raised
part at the rear being the doghouse, deckhouse, or wheel house.
