here's what it looks like:

Klauenkasten Typ 6

Obviously a sort of self-contained, demountable clamping jaw assembly, but I don't know what it's called in English. Google turns up one lexicon that translates it as 'box-type jaw', but as thtre only two ghits for the English term I would treat it with caution.
