The chopper on the left is similar to Curg or Malabar types.

Thanks for the reply Emanuel, I'll do some research now I've got names to start with.

I'm sad to hear that the object in the top left is a signaling standard, I had it pegged as a mighty frying pan of death. Ah, never mind!

Thanks again
