Replaced another bell-only set-up with a Teardrop:

You can also see the moved the signal away from the tracks. I wonder if they have just had that bell laying in storage, or just took it from another crossing

No, the Teardrop was the old set-up. It was replaced with the set-up in the first link.

Those WCH bells look like they were from another crossing as well.

Oh lol. So they moved the signal towards the tracks then

Apparently there's a bell only crossing here on Lillian Road in Johnsonville, PA:

It can be seen starting at about 10:25 in this video, and it uses a Safetran mechanical bell and what appears to be a WRRS bell:

This crossing here I reckon may have been the only bell only crossing in Australia. Unfortunately it’s now abandoned and the bell is gone https://www.google.com/maps/place/John+ ... 8f1ea0210f
Luckily though there is a video of it in action, and it only operates just as the train reaches the crossing (for down trains anyways) http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/132791/20 ... a_1983.wmv

Interestingly enough, it appears that the bell was originally a Simplex bell, but is now a WCH mechanical:

2007 shows no WCH bell:
