Can air horns legally be mounted on the side like that?
You don't have to believe everything you think.

Not sure, but I have seen them mounted like that on a lot of conversions.

The only possible issue is vehicle width, but it they aren't past the mirrors or the legal limit from the body of the vehicle, you would be ok.

Here is the Florida Statute,  I think section 2 is more likely to get you in trouble, nothing about where it can be mounted though

316.271  Horns and warning devices.--

(1)  Every motor vehicle when operated upon a highway shall be equipped with a horn in good working order and capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 200 feet.

(2)  No horn or other warning device shall emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound or a whistle.

(3)  The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation, give audible warning with his or her horn, but shall not otherwise use such horn when upon a highway.

(4)  No vehicle shall be equipped with, nor shall any person use upon a vehicle, any siren, whistle, or bell, except as otherwise permitted in this section.

(5)  It is permissible but not required that any vehicle be equipped with a theft alarm signal device which is so arranged that it cannot be used by the driver as an ordinary warning signal.

(6)  Every authorized emergency vehicle shall be equipped with a siren, whistle, or bell capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 500 feet and of a type approved by the department, but such siren, whistle, or bell shall not be used except when the vehicle is operated in response to an emergency call or in the immediate pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law, in which event the driver of the vehicle shall sound the siren, whistle, or bell when reasonably necessary to warn pedestrians and other drivers of the approach thereof.

(7)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, a trolley may be equipped with a bell, and the bell is not required to be used only as a warning device. As used in this subsection, the term "trolley" includes any bus which resembles a streetcar, which is powered by overhead electric wires or is self-propelled, and which is used primarily as a public conveyance.

(8)  A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.

I think I seen one about 30 miles away from me that is all fixed up. It sits behind a fence at a truck repair place. I believe it's the owners.

Sound of duelling banjoes in background . . .

Maybe a 1965 Superior International Supercruiser RE, or something of that ilk:

The windshield and front cap look similar.

What's that box on the roof?   (Maybe a swamp cooler?   If so, how well would it work in this bus's presumably-humid location?)   I like the antenna!

I'm not seeing the hump there. The one I seen also has the hump way far forward as opposed to my Buffalo.
