It's not so much _what_ it is as where it is. It reminds me of the
character legends above/below dials in a dial box.
I've thought about something like that with a more modern twist - I
have a few 40x2 LCDs - I got them from BG Micro, but I think they were
originally from a satellite TV box - one could mount some shaft
encoders above and below the LCD and have 8-10 chars per dial, or one
could mount it above the function keys and do something similar to
what this terminal is doing.

The keyboard close-up was nice. Never seen a
legend bar above the
function keys like that... pretty slick.
It's just a serially driven LED cluster though isn't it? Doesn't stop it
being slick, mind :)
