what the hell is it?

Top tube protector, you've never seen one before?

GPS tracking device. The latest thing in bike theft prevention technology. You get them welded on.

It's a little piece of rubberized plastic that is placed at the exact position your balls would impact the top tube when you slid off the front of the saddle. It protects your balls.

As you might imagine, positioning is key.

Is that a bareknuckle? It could also be a Gorilla

I just want something that matches my Campy Sydney rim, but that is impossible it seems.

Call American Cyclery in SF, they had a few of them last year when I picked up a 650c.
