In fact, instead of a hydrant, this second one seems to be an external feed to the building's sprinkler system and I'm not sure about the first one at all.

The first one is interesting, indeed. Can you read the manufacturer's name? The blogger photo is too small.

Looks like "LUDLOW." The letters are blurred from multiple layers of paint but I think that's it.
