well either the lights were hit on this crossing signal or the company who owns this line doesn't know how to mount lights!

Most likely hit by a vehicle or caused by weather.

Same signal was being maintained on in 2016. Wonder what they were doing considering the base was open.

If it was a vehicle, it wouldn't have come from that side...

Looks like the initials of Rebel Railway Supply Co., who makes an RSI-LED variant that appears to be sold in Alstom light-heads:
https://rebelrail.com/

Unfortunately their site doesn't have any pictures on it, though I have found a set of their LEDs in use on the TSRR recently. The LEDs look exactly the same as Patco/RSI LEDs (along with that fourth variant of unknown manufacture), except they say Rebel Railway Supply Co. on the breadboard and don't have an RSI logo cast into the lens.
