Looks pretty standard to me. Euro power stations and chemical plants usually import sirens for their warning systems, at least to my knowledge (The same happens here in England)

I believe there is some plant in the UK that uses Whelens...

That wouldn't be France though, now would it? ;)

Anyways, I'm sure there are other American sirens in France. They're not common around Europe (with a few exceptions such as Denmark and the Netherlands), but they seem to pop up now and then.

Has there ever been a recording of Whelen/Federal/ASC sirens in the UK?

Perhaps you're thinking of this one?

From what I can tell on aerial view, the plant has DSA's and Alertronic omnidirectionals.

I"am guessing it's really really rare to find a mechanical american siren in other countries? Like a T-128 or a T-135 or Sentry sirens.
