Here is one that resembles a GCS or an STL/H-10

I'm pretty sure it's a modified FS/GCS Model X. I don't see any way the air can get into the siren except through the top.

I've got one for you guys.

It's not the STH-10 that's still active; it's the thing "in front of" (i.e., just southeast of) the STH on the same rooftop... anyone got a clue what that old beast is?

It's a W.S. Darley 3V8. Here's an actual photo of it, courtesy of Eric L. (EL1998P71):

It looks like a Federal Electric B siren, but it seems a bit odd looking.

It almost looks like the chopper was put onto a P-10/15 like motor :?

That's quite possibly a Mars-branded siren, which was basically designed after the Federal Type B. They just used a different mounting base for the motor and a little different sheet metal work, but as best I can tell the mechanical parts of the Mars siren are the same as a Federal B.
