It certainly looks HMV. It might have been helpful if the auctioneer had put the dimensions.

It seems like HMV 157 model horn.

It is indeed the bifurcated horn from an HMV157. The rear of the full Re-Entrant horn in my HMV193 looks like this :

These days worth more in scrap metal value than as an original gramophone part! (the 157 horn)

If i had one of those surplus horns I'd build a gramophone around it. Their sound is very beautiful.
