Was filming a pedestrian crossing in Tamworth, Australia recently and discovered that one of the semaphore gate mechs had a WRRS plate on the front of the cover. It looks the same as the GRS mech on the other signal, but with WRRS branding.
I know that WRRS and GRS had some kind of arrangement where they would use each other's products, specially with GRS Type B and Type D gate mechs and WRRS bells. I was wondering if anyone knew of WRRS offering these semaphore gate mechs for sale, or any other known installations that used them?
Here is a link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP2FNQkbhPM&t=181s with the mech being seen at 1:04 and 3:50. The pedestrian crossing was installed in 1997, so these mechs would have been recycled from old semaphore signals or another pedestrian crossing.

Re: WRRS Semaphore Gate Mechanism?
WRRS did sell semaphore gate mechs, IIRC, so it could've been possible.
They/Them for me, please.
