FDNY style? What exactly does that mean?

No reply for a while so here goes, your use of FDNY to describe your sirens could lead someone to believe they are genuine FDNY surplus, which I suspect they are not. The PA 300 is very common, and without pictures, you will probably not get any takers at that price. Please clarify. Not trying to be a jerk, but this plus a low post count is a red flag.

maybe this type...

There was a big discussion about "FDNY" PA300s a couple of years ago. I don't remember what the outcome was but some people from the NYC area claimed they had different tones; I think the manual rose and/or fell differently. There may have been some markings on the label or something like that.

Hey, sorry guys been busy with work, here are some photos of the unit, as you can see by the badges on the sirens they are official off of retired apparatus. 



"Q: What is the main FDNY siren?

A: Rigs that are 2003 or older models use a customized Federal PA300 with a foot switch that allows it to be operated like a Q siren.  2004 or newer rigs (except for a few engines) predominantly have Federal EQ2B siren.  Newer support or chief vehicles use the Federal Smartsiren."

But yes the link that @grieuro provided is accurate, many of the sirens sound different. Here are a few reference videos to give you an idea of the range of pitches the FDNY has. 

Answered these questions in the last post, sorry for the delay everyone.
