The XT22 is easily recognizable (as if I needed to point that out), but as for the other thing, I don't know. It looks like either a Carter knockoff, or some other horizontal siren. Maybe a Federal?
EDIT>Some more come to mind, like a Sterling missing the upper chopper caps (the half-circle ones), or maybe a (more than unlikely) HOR missing the motor cover and horns, but other than that, I've got no clue

Looks like a stering.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I disagree. If you move the camera over right next to it, you can see how wide the rim of the chopper is, far wider than any Sterling chopper I've seen.

You're right, it looks more like a Lion.

I'm unfamiliar with Lion, do you have a picture of one?

I believe this is one.It was on a previous thread that I found through a Google Image search. It has a cover over it.

Actually, advancing a little bit and zooming in, it looks kinda like an XT22 on it's side. Does anyone know of a horizontal siren that looks like that? I think I'll stick to the fact that it may be a Lion for now.
Maybe someone should take a trip down there and photograph it? Just an idea...

To me it looks like >12 ports on the rotors. I imagine it's some Federal siren, since most Oklahoma CD era sirens are Federal. Maybe a 15/15?
