Default Re: 39 Horn .. or NOT?

The data also suggests that the J17 was heavily used in WWII jeeps and other such equipment, but using the short squat flute. This one is the long slender flute..

The research suggests that it is a “Jobber” aftermarket item based on the universal mounts (and no bracket) and the single screwed set terminal.
I have not yet tested it. The data says that if I do, the horn will be very loud.

Any horn experts out there? Would this have been used on the 39, or is the 39 only the V model?
