Binaural recording
With the clues given above, I googled binaural recording microphone and found this $8,000 "NEUMANN KU100 BINAURAL DUMMY HEAD". Looks pretty similar, and has some more information on what it does. https://vintageking.com/neumann-ku100-binaural-dummy-head?gclid=CjwKEAjw...
The link that I provided
The link that I provided brings up a listing for what looks like the same product (It has the same logo on the front). Not sure how much it costs, though.
Here's a binaural recording from the early '70s that was made using similar dummy head technology.
