So what is the little antenna on the roof for?

Phone. Most were factory fitted as part of the (almost standard) phone prewiring kit, even if a phone or HU with integrated phone wasn't fitted.  3.2 Elites also have the GPS unit there as well, signified by a larger base to the antenna.

So with my 2.2 the aerial does nothing?

Again,

What head unit did it leave the factory with?

According to the 2003 sales brochure, all Omegas' regardless of head unit, left the factory with telephone prewiring as standard.

This would have included the aerial on the roof on saloons.

So it'll just be a phone antenna then, and the cable is left loose in the drivers kick panel.

My brochure covers the end of production, it isn't even a NCO they're just fitted.

There were some subtle changes when production switched from 2.0/2.5/3.0 to 2.2/2.6/3.2. Quite possible that earlier facelifts had pre wiring as an option rather than standard.

My pre face lift estate had a very short aerial fitted at the rear, ex plod but no sign of it being a patrol model.

Different aerials for different jobs. They probably used the whole that was there for the factory radio aerial.
