Many street light enthusiasts mistake the Westinghouse OV15 for  Crouse-Hinds L-150s and the Westinghouse OV25 for Crouse-Hinds L-250s. But 4th Generation Westinghouse OV15 and OV25 are the actual Westinghouse models. The closeup of the glass lens in the 4th picture proves that these street lights were manufactured by Westinghouse.
