[Boatanchors] Anyone recognize this equipment?

[Dave Merrill]

While looking at some photos of the bygone days of air travel, I stumbled
across this one:

It is labeled "Circa 1966: Two first class seats aboard a TWA jet from
London to Washington. (Jackson/Getty Images) ".  It looks like it could be
communications gear.  Thoughts?
