M3 ? Isn't that just a single headed m5?
M-3 or M-45 is the name for those.
But there is also dual headed M45 !

Alright, then it's likely a M-3

After doing more extensive digging for sirens in the town of Van Buren, I came across this thing when looking at a video of drone footage over the town somewhat recently. This looks to be some sort of single sided Federal Electric Type B or even a hornless P-10. In the bottom left corner area of this video. https://youtu.be/iGQ4GW0k7ec?t=311 (Can be seen starting around 5:08 within the video)

After doing further searching at around 5:31 this object comes into view again, and it sure does look like a hornless Penetrator or allertor!

What are your guy's thoughts on this?

Solved: Street view shows what looks EXACTLY like Type B, judging the split-row stator. Appears to have been modified.

I have pictured this siren in real life since then, and I can confirm it's a 1920s/1930s era Sterling M-3 missing some pieces.

That looks like a Type B to me...
Shares the same intake, split stator, shroud, and chopper hood.
