It's definitely not an M5, but it definitely is a very nice Old Cast P5 with a gull-wing manifold. If you look closer at the top of the locomotive, note the longer bells and manifold arrangement. An M horn has short, stubby bells as opposed to the long bells on a P horn.
Sweet sounding horn! But, with all due respect it doesn't sound like a Nathan P5 series, which normally sounds brassy even when properly tuned. Sounds closer to a modified Nathan M series horn with Canadian tuning.
my oldcast SP P5 horn arrived yesterday I need to put air through it now and test it fully cool sound here it almost sounds like an M5

I love those P5 almost sound like a K5LLA or a M horn. I remember seeing this location on a Pentrex VHS, Best of the Midwest Vol III

Reminds me of a Leslie S-3J recording I've heard. This does sound more like an M horn. Very nice though!
