It appears those signals have Dutch crossbucks and Dutch bells with Spanish lights!

Bells are EBA e-bells.

I've always associated those bells with Dutch crossings (and recently Belgian crossings), with the Dutch bells and crossbucks, and the Dutch lights on the Australian crossings thread it appears that Sir Lanka likes to use Dutch equipment for some reason a long with Spanish lights. Kind of reminds me of those Chilean crossings that had Spanish signals with Canadian crossbucks that I posted here a week ago. Sir Lanka appears to be one of those countries that likes to use equipment from different countries just like Chile and in general likes to use different crossing styles again just like Chile.

EBA e-bells have also made their way into New Zealand, interestingly enough. And I agree, some of those crossbucks look a lot like the ones the Dutch use.

I can understand why they would make their way into Belgium sense they're neighbors and close allies but it is kind of interesting how they've made their way to Sir Lanka and New Zealand.

I like New Zealand crossings, because at least they have some nice and clean Griswold (or Griswold-like) equipment out there.
