No labels or stamped on numbers on that thing at all, eh? Hard to say what you have there. The harness sounds completely "normal" for folded-dipole arrays (it's just a power divider that's made sure the length of the cables to each antenna are the same so the signal from each element in the array is in-phase with the others), but some manufacturers use different impedance coaxes in each part of the harness to get the entire antenna to be 50 ohm... A picture is worth a thousands words... someone here's bound to recognize it if you can snap a photo. Nate WY0X
