George Street/Rudduck Street intersection, near new 'Stockmans Bridge' seen in background. As part of the redevelopment a bicycle path has been built with dedicated signals.

Some places in Aus seem to use ped visors on the cycle heads, and some seem to use normal tunnels - is there a reason for this, or is simply what the engineer's preferences are?

The tops of posts / poles appear to have some sort of removable cap...often with cables running into it. Is this like a splice box?

I think it's a cable termination point for the multi-core cables - that's where the signals connect to the incoming supply, rather than doing it inside the signal head. It's a standard from the old Tin Lanterns. The UK still use this system as well.

Intersection of North Road and Bambra Road/Thomas Street, Brighton East. All signals at this intersection were originally the 1960's-era yellow Eagle ones used in Melbourne at the time. In the late 1990's they were replaced with an odd mixture of Aldridge/ATS and Excelsior signals at lower level. Three of the four Eagle signals survive on the overhead masts with black target boards.
Located inside the Knox O-Zone section of Knox City Shopping centre (now Westfield Knox). Once entirely outside, the centre was expanded in 2002 at the same time new outdoor restaurants and cinemas were built adjoining the main centre. In between the indoor and outdoor sections, this at-grade crossing and road access remained with a signalised pedestrian crossing. Standard Aldridge LED signals were used, along with standard pedestrian signals (minus the visors) and buttons mounted in special bollards along the width of the extra wide crossing.
