Can you see that "nose-like" structure - pointy front on the right? That is a pneumatophore, a gas-filled float, typical for Corncob type of Siphos. If you see it, it is a Corncob!

It appears opaque (white) on our pictures. Unlike he swimming bells that are usually more transparent.

That's a wonderful description @yshish and helps a great deal 😄 Have you got any diagrams for the other types of siphos please? 😄
