They are two differnt notes and for the life of me I can't recall with ones they are. You are right that the horns are spot welded to the brackets and they are oriented so that the horn openings point toward the center and down so that the two notes actually blend.
Ron Goralski (sp) of the Mason-Dixon chapter of NCRS rebuilt and refinished mine for my '69. One of my horns was original and the other was a replacement. The replacement was the right part number but it was not dated but Ron was able to help me with that as well.
Good luck with your horns.

Both mine work right now, but as we know, that can change anytime with these cars.

Cool!!! One of mine stopped working so I figure I would send them both out because I was lucky enough to have the orginals, AL.

If the horn doesn't work, I do not recomend the finger, but thats how they do it in my stae....
Caddilac also had multiple horn notes, and I know from restoring one of those that those horns are hard to find. There are aftermarket ones.
I would love to put air compressor / train horns on mine. Just a little more than the common "excuse me".
