Strange Victor? or handyman special?

there were a few machines of the era - just not this one - that originally incorporated both internal and external horns, like for example the Pathé jour et nuit, and if I'm remembering correctly, a prototype edison C-19 or 250. but they're not all that common.

True - but you had to use one function at a time.

If they open the doors, do they get stereo?

You would not believe how many people think that the slats in the horn are record shelves. I've seen a VV XVI with the horn used for storage.
