contents Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We study the cocompact domain of discontinuity $Ω_ρ$ in the Einstein universe $\mathrm{Ein}^{p-1,p}$ defined by Guichard-Wienhard and Kapovich-Leeb-Porti for a class of $p$-Anosov representations $ρ:π_1S \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_0(p,p+1)$ including Hitchin representations, for $p \geq 3$. The quotient $M_ρ = ρ(π_1S)\backslash Ω_ρ$ is abstractly known to be realizable as a fiber bundle over $S$, with unknown fiber of unique homotopy type $F_ρ$. We explicitly exhibit $M_ρ$ as a smooth $\mathfrak{F}_ρ$-fiber bundle over $S$, determining the diffeomorphism type of $M_ρ$ and the unique homotopy type $F_ρ$. Surprisingly, in many situations the fiber bundle $\mathfrak{F}_ρ \rightarrow M_ρ\rightarrow S$ is trivial.
