My vote goes to Decibel Products DB4060. The only thing that looks different from the Decibel duplexers I have worked with is the brackets holding the cavities to the mounting rail(s)... but the brackets shown in your photos are exactly like the ones pictured in some of the (older?) DB

Wireline from about 1000 feet to a couple of miles ? I don't think so. Sepreation of this distance for 10 meters usually means a radio link. You certainly can go wireline for 10's of miles. I used to work for Muzak, we did this routinely. People underestimate the noise rejection properties of
