It does seem odd with the mixture of uniform elements that Lew is sporting, so perhaps as you suggested it could have been a uniform thrown together for one of his films. We can definitely rule out the 1926-27 time frame though as these photos were taken by George Burke, who did not begin photographing ball players until 1929. By the mid-30's though, Burke was official photographer for the Cubs and, I think, the White Sox as well, so it makes sense that he would be on hand taking photos if there was some sort of filming going on at Comiskey.
