I'm in possession of a pony keg with this sort of connector... what's it called? Couldn't find any like it on Google.
 
It appears to be a Sankey D that is missing its guts. Normal commercial kegs are never open to the environment.
 
Anybody else wanna chime in? Looks closest to a G to me... but not quite.

That looks like a "Golden Gate" type connection, and the cooperage is the right style for that as well. Can see a patent design here.

As mentioned, the internals are stripped. You'll not be able to replace them for the cooperage, and wouldn't be worthwhile if you could. The tap(s) for that connection are also uncommon and not compatible with other commercial or other connections.

DIY project or scrap. Some have bunged up that top opening and used as fermenters
