Found a similar one here, which does both a hinged at one end AND a straight lift: https://www.jacksonsleisure.com/caravan/motorhome/campervan/adventurer/roof/light/........
I suspect you may live to regret fitting the exact one shown in your photo if you could find it.
1) No sun blind! - you'll get the full 'sun-up' illumination to disturb your lie in past sunrise!
It's amazing how much heat can build up in the van from sunlight streaming through a skylight!
And, even if double glazed, the sun blind makes a difference to how much heat leaches out if you've got heating on in the van!
2) No fly screen! - Firstly they stop the bugs, and there WILL be bugs, getting in, but they also stop leaves and other debris that collect on the roof from blowing in and landing in places you don't want them - kitchen/food, bed etc.!
I've got the standard 'hinged at one end, open at other end' Heiki type skylights in my caravan, with 3 opening positions, they provide perfectly good ventilation, so not sure why you want the type in the photo.
The one I put a link to, has both sun blind and fly screen.

I had a similar one in my Bailey Pursuit in the shower cubicle. Could leave it open all the time and no rain came in. It kept the van lovely and cool by letting the heat out.
Needed a flyscreen though which unclipped and swung down to access the handles.

This what you are looking for? discontinued but may be available somewhere?
As others have said, would be better with blind and/or flynet attached.
We've had various sorts in vans from the ones which have set positions to ratchet type ones.

Like this?.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
