That's a Westinghouse AA-1. they came in straight and curved trumpets. The Lackawanna "Green" and Reading "Blue" MU's all had them. The Key System duplex units had them too. I understand they were original equipment on the P&W Bullets but as parts ran out they were replaced in the 1960's with long-bell A-2's and a few got AA-2 two-trumpet horns. HOLD ON TO THEM!! Sand down the diaphragms, reinstall them and they should work fine.
that first part scared me, it made me cry and hide in the corner of my room, do you by any chance know where i can get hold of the currently in use two tone horns?
I have just bought a set of these horns and one didnt work. If you undo the grubscrew holding the trumpet on then tighten or loosen the trumpet while operating the horn. That way you can get the diaphram the correct distance from the lower end of the trumpet.
