Additional spot lights.

Don't recognize the brackets, will try to find what they look like in one of my light catalogs.

I don't recognize the Yokes & yet Bonnets are SIMILAR to REVERE. Brackets for upper piece appear to have been made w/ TICO Brackets.

Marky, you are missing an addition porcelain "cone" that attaches to the bracket on top. I think the bracket might have been replaced at one time. I have a whole one buried in the attic someplace, and I'll have to dig it out. I believe the bracket on top is once piece, with a hole top center. The porcelain cone goes over the bracket, and a threaded cast "spear" screws on to hold upper/lower porcelain bonnett together. My verbal description sucks, sorry, I'll have to get a photo for you.

Here's the fixture I was referring to. The metal brackets that hold the top piece to the bottom piece have rusted away on mine. You can kind of still see small pieces of them in photo number two. The spear shaped nut on top, would hold it all together. Hope this helps.

Although his is similar to a REVERE [as the one you have Don], his Yoke & Bonnet is completely different than what I have seen from REVERE. Maybe a later design.
I have 2 different Sizes of what Don posted, same design, Bonnet & Yoke.

I saw one of those tops @ a swapmeet here on a table @ Morris Il. last October.
Don't know the seller,but maybe Randy Ross,..aka Dale3 on here could tell you.
He sells there each fall.
