In the first video below, this signal once used to have Modern Industries 12x20 incandescent lights on the northern signal's overhead, Safetran gate mechanisms, and a WCH Mechanical Bell. The southern signal was likely a replacement for a knock down that had the same equipment as the northern signal, except without the bell, and the remaining 8 inch lights on the northern signal were replaced sometime within 2013 and 2017. The WCH Mechanical Bell was also the last remaining mechanical bell left in Springfield, suprisingly enough.
