So, after going through a bunch of semaphores and identifying key features to compare on mine, I do indeed believe that this one has the correct base and is the original lattice but no longer has the red paint and is missing a wing.
The cap at the top is red and the design pattern before that cap matches with this first one, as does the base and height of the upper wing. The "X" pattern lattice is the same as well. Only thing is this is eletrified and my base shows no signs of ever having such binding posts- plus a total absence of that red paint(I'd expect to maybe see a little). Link below

Two of my other "candidates". The stumper here is ths is the only one I saw with a litho'd base like that.
Thoughts? Lol
