That second siren was in Slaton, TX, and was single toned. The unit has since been scrapped, and they now have a decent 16V1TB system in place. I don't know if the SD-10's are still active. Trey could shed more light on that, as he lives there now.

The yellow one and the red one defiantly aren't the same.

So based on recent posts and that ebay auction I think it is safe to assume the primer red siren is an HOR.

HOR vertical two-rotor sirens were built in this style, either 10/10 or 7/10. Like Bullards and Heaths, Hedbergs rarely seemed to make it outside California.

The yellow one looks like one of those vertical HORs, like the ones that came out of Maricopa Co, AZ's old system

The Willow Run Bomber Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where Henry Ford built his B-24 Liberators had two Hedbergs on the roof of the building. Sadly, they were scrapped, a few years ago. I believe the Federal Model 2s and 3s that were inside the plant were hopefully salvaged. If not, they were demolished with the plant.

I am pretty sure that all if the sirens pictured are HOR Si-Rex sirens. Both the Super Si-Rex I had and the 7:10 port omnidirectional Si-Rex I have utilize end rings with the air intake hole that screw to the stator port segments. Also, on the 7:10 the top stator is bolted to the lower stator end ring with large cast lugs. Both of these features are shown in every one of those pictures. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/58979889@N06/12079141146/
