Should there be a pcap/pcap-ng link-layer header type value (the values sometimes called "DLTs") assigned for that?  Perhaps there should be, to allow MAC LTE packets to be stored in pcap or pcap-ng files.

If so, you should submit a request for it to tcpdump-workers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, with a detailed description of the pseudo-header for the context data.
