Trying to ID an instrument - is it real, or fantasy?

Hi all,

About to start my second Twister Ram and Dorothy build - this time, going for Max Accuracy. There's a part that has me stumped - I believe it's based off a sensor on TOTO, but I can't ID it, nor find anything like it. After tons of hunting, I finally figured out the quad plate instrument - but this thing still has me stumped. If it's a real part, it's probably a vintage piece that doesn't exist, or is insanely rare nowadays haha.

I was thinking the same thing, but outdoor fixtures, the kind that line sidewalks, maybe commercial. Looks like they put a rubber gasket in between the two domes. Would also make a great fake flying saucer.
 
Took a TON of digging - but finding research journals from the 80's on TOTO, it's a temp sensor that has a radiation shield/hail shield combo covering it. Gonna have to make it custom, no biggie. I'll look into light fixtures - I figured the prop department either cast them out of resin/plastic, or just hacked something together.
