In my reading of the great narrow gauge profit Linwood Moody; I read that they used standard gauge headlights and bells on narrow gauge equipment because they had to see and be heard as far away as on a standard gauge railroad. Perhaps the Federal Railroad Administration had some guidelines to follow about warning devices.

The headlights look bigger to me also.
