There are a couple more, used, for sale online. I have a hunch they didn't come from the factory that way, but whatever. The weird thing for me is not the helicon bell, it's the extra wrap - all three of them have an extra circle of approximately valve bore tubing. My guess without giving it too much thought is that it's the 4th valve.

They don't look that promising to me, but that's just from looking at pictures, maybe they're incredibly awesome.

Photo of old style Brazilian mounted band with helicons - text says this was common at the turn of the century. (Dead link copied here from Google cache)
