Unsolved mystery for Stephenp almost solved

Q3043 Caboose Lamp? I believe this to be a Caboose Lantern, or other type of signal lamp, however I've been unable to find anything similar to it searching for RR lamps. It has no name of a RR or of the manufacturer. It measures approximately 14 in tall by 5 in wide by 5-1/2 in deep and had three flat lenses with the option of any one of the three being in use at any one time or possibly two together as one position is stationary. They would have measured 4-1/2 square, the glass in the stationary position could be removed or replaced through a slot located under a flap on the top of the lamp, the other two through an open slot in the top of the swinging glass holder. The two swinging positions, when not in use slide inside secured with a sliding pin. The rear has tang used to attach the lamp to a flat surface. The rear opens for access to the burner, directly behind the burner is a convex mirror like surface to focus or intensify the light. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A. Hi Steve, I can't give you a positive identification, but the design of your lamp, particularly the chimney, looks French. Possibly a dwarf signal lamp or a side lamp from a "fourgon", the French name for a caboose.
