The ends of the strokes are rounded because they are a stencil. I agree that the font isn't GS, but it's very similar and may be adapted from it.
British Railways used GS extensively for their public signage before they switched to Rail Alphabet in the mid 60s, though the numbers on the signals are obviously not GS or RA. Presumably they are also a stencil font of some sort.
