This assembly was used for AC traction masts in the early 70s (or before) - such as Howrah-Tundla/Durg, Igatpuri-Bhusaval, Virar-Ahmedabad. Since then, they changed the orientation of the register arm dropper so that it originates from the middle of the bracket tube instead of the top. As an illustration, take a look at the left mast in http://www.irfca.org/gallery/openline/IMG_5833.jpg.html and note the orientation of the register arm dropper - the length gets cut down by half, resulting in huge savings in raw material.
