Would this transposition apply to a Strauss piece too? As in the third horn
might transpose up?

Carlberg, Jonathan, and Per Ottar have informed you correctly about the
key, except they neglected to mention whether this is B basso or B
basso.
Both transpositions are common in the 18th Century -- both appear in
Mozart, for instance -- but well into the 18th century Bb alto becomes
rare. Mendelssohn is almost certainly to intend basso, which is good,
otherwise 3rd would find any number of exposed high C's (after
transposing to F horn).
