This horn--the 156--was a cross between the original Big B--which had a smaller bell flare like the original Series Aristocrat--and the 400 which was the Buescher with the largest bell flare. Yes, the 156 Aristo was introduced after the war around 1947, no doubt to give the Big B a more modern jazzier sound akin to that of the 400.
