Used Southbend Lathe / Turret Lathe | HGR Industrial Surplus

I found this odd setup with 2 South Bend lathes browsing HGR's offerings. At first glance, it looks like 2 9" South Bends - maybe a B on the left and a C on the right. On closer inspection, the headstocks don't look like regular 9" headstocks. If I had to guess I'd say they were off a speed lathe and grafted onto a southbend bed? Or are these the correct headstocks?

I'm not in the market to buy them, just thought the community would like to see them here. There's a lot of parts there, and it could probably be negotiated down a good bit, but shipping would be a killer.

Pics attached for future reference after its removed from their site.
 
Interesting power feed on the right lathe. I think they're overly optimistic about their pricing. I bet they're good for parts, but probably worn out for anything precision.
 
HGR starts high on their pricing then reduces it every week or two until it sells or reaches scrap metal price. The longer they have it, the lower the price goes.
