This is a hard one. Maybe a part of a big-red-button from a secret military base? 😀

Got me!! I have no idea :'(

So now that its over, can someone post the answer?
It looks to me like end pieces to hold on those rail style terminal connectors. But then those clear tubes must have some purpose. and the red piece must be lifted to do something.
Then theres the screws, appears they clamp a wire down.

At first glance, it looks like a din-rail fuse holder, but those screws seem out of place; it is almost like they drive the clear-and-white part down; maybe that’s an IDC connection to the wires?
