I wrote to Stefano Maggiolo the author of the map, he answered his map is a
Miller, moreover it hasn’t the southern polar band, so I added the missing
southern band, then I converted it in an equirectangular map to get the right
3D globe.

Minor correction to what I just posted:
The Aitoff projection isn't equal-area (but it's nearly so).
Aitoff, was introduced in the late 1880s. Hammer was introduced just a few
years later. Hammer acknowledged that his map is just an equal-area version
using Aitoff's construction-principle, and Hammer's projection is often called
"Hammer-Aitoff".
Hammer and Aitoff arguably look more realistic than Mollweide and Apianus II,
but Hammer and Aitoff aren't cylindroid. Hammer has only the equal-area
property, and Aitoff doen't have a property.
Incidentally, Mollweide was introduced in 1805, by a teacher in Germany, and
has been very popular.
