Size and horsepower (2.5 versus 5).

I did a search for Sterling K2 sirens and found nothing so it looks like they haven't been recorded or documented. There never was a K7 or K8 as far as anyone knows.

It's a vent for natural gas lines. Those were all over St Louis when I was growing up and you can bet that I thought they were sirens.
