Since I'm lazy and don't feel like retyping my reply in your other thread...
Your "mystery" siren is the main components of a Sterling 2V8 turned on its side and held onto that homemade bracket by a large U-bolt. I don't know why they have it set up in such a way, unless maybe it took a fall once and was mangled pretty bad or something of the sort. Either way it looks pretty neat the way they have it mounted now.

Here is one that appears on the board now and then. This is a WWII-era rotating siren from Australia. There are a few photos of these sirens, including one in Indonesia, but I am unaware that any survive today. Do any of our Australian board members know about these?

I didn't know that rotating sirens existed outside of the US, Canada, and Russia.
