One way would be to do:
root@kali:~# df -kh |grep live
/dev/sr0 3.0G 3.0G 0 100% /run/live/medium
/dev/loop0 2.7G 2.7G 0 100% /run/live/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
tmpfs 5.8G 24M 5.8G 1% /run/live/overlay
This works because live-boot is being used as a basis for the Live USB disc.
More info can be found here: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/live-boot-doc/live-boot.7.en.html
This also explains the overlay shim.

While this may answer the question, it would be a better answer if you could provide some explanation why it does so.
