The eastern signal. I don't even know how these 3 signals were given older Safetran bases. Also of interest, this is the first crossing to have Siemens brackets instead of the Safetran ones, though these are slowly beginning to pop up on new installs and thus, are pretty rare so far.

The signal on Western Avenue. What's more crazy is that these DOT numbers are the exact same for Western Avenue #1. But these signals are at Sandusky Street and not Western Avenue.
