64 FORD horn on your truck !!!!!!!!!

Haha i knew that would get your attention, Well i got a box of parts that came with my 1966 truck and it had a horn in the box so im rewiring my truck and went to go fetch the horn so i can install it with the new wiring.
I went to the shed and looking through my different parts boxs from different cars, I came across the two horns from a rusted out 64 ford falcon i stripped and sent to the scrappers that was all stock.....I then found the box of parts for my truck....looking at the horns all three look to be the same(excpet there is a left and a right horn that was on the ford falcon).......I got out the wire brush and did a little scrubbing on the horn from the truck and the matching horn(passenger side) from the falcon are the exact same horn with "12v" stamped into the top of both of them and all the same castings/stamping and same place and style to hook the power wire too..the only thing different is the mounting brackets that screw to horn ...just seemed interesting????maybe ford and chevy outsourced their horns in the 60's or atleast 64-66???

or maybe my chevy just has a ford horn?or maybe 64 ford falcons have chevy truck horns!!

I searched "horn" in the search function but didnt find any clear pictures or a thread specific to horns.....

does our trucks only have 1 horn or am i missing one?

I was thinking of hooking up a left and a right horn and testing the three horns i have and see if they have different tones, maybe the horn will be louder....

was thinking if they are the same( if i have the right horn that came with my truck) is that if someone is missing the horn they might be able to find one on a 60's ford.....

maybe someone can shed some light on the horns??

heres some pictures!

top horn is what came with my truck and the two lower horns are from the falcon:


the horns all have the same "12v" stamping in the top and same hook up for power:


and the undersides are the same exact stamping/casting the only difference is the mounting bracket:
