Might be an AEL Luxmaster fixture of some sort. Would have originally used 250W S50 high pressure sodium lamps before getting cobbed.

Correct. This is the AEL Luxmaster 53. There was a variant that had a pyramid shaped drop dish lens called the "Luxmaster 153".

Yes, correct. The cities of Tempe and Goodyear used to have thousands, but many have been replaced by GE Evolves. SRP has also used these in the past for illuminating urban areas. These are actually a very common luminaire. The SeaTac International Airport used lots of these, both on FCO and SCO. CenterPoint Energy in Texas also has lots of them. @Baked bagel 11 - Didn't know there were ThinScapes in Arizona. Haven't seen any yet. I'll have to keep an eye out.
