Are you sure? That looks like a standard WRRS side mount, the rest of the crossing equipment is WRRS. WRRS did make side-mounted bells.

Yes, WRRS made side-mounted bells.

That is a RRS/B zinc because it has a smaller bracket on the door. WRRS versions have a wider one for different mast sizes. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9893909 ... 384!8i8192

Think that may have been something the CNJ liked to do, at least for their Teardrops. Obviously CSX just simply chose to re-use the mount for their NEG e-bell that they replaced the previous one with.

These crossings are controlled by traffic lights, but still have bells on their relay cases.

Likely, those signals did not have bells originally. Still, nice finds!
