That looks like a Janney type coupler, a semi automatic train coupler.
Exactly which of the types of Janney coupler it is I can't say.
The USSR/Russia uses a similar design called the SA3 coupler.
Tye SA3 coupler is in use by the Swedish iron company LKAB where they pull massive trains with among the world's most powerful locomotives, currently the Iore, but in the past the Dm3.
