I have been told that this (see photo) is a Saturn Instrument Unit matched pair connector built by IBM.
Can anybody confirm and/or explain its function?

These connectors have previously popped up for sale on eBay, advertised as flight vehicle components. Similar type MilSpec connectors were incorporated as part of ground support hardware, but are also more broadly used throughout the aerospace industry.
The original seller should be able to provide rational for declaring as actual IU artifact (probably would have been best to establish prior to purchasing). For comparison.
