I've seen quite a few seatposts with this type of rail clamp.
Usually found on seatposts with zero setback, used on bikes with more upright riding positions.
Here's a seatpost that takes the cake when it comes to being unusual.....

Both are unusual to me.
The first is interesting but I would wonder how well it clamps for angle.
The second is not as interesting in terms of the post but of the saddle! How much does that weigh? I would like to have one just for the ease of fit modification.

I don't know the model but it looks like it was inspired by the old Zoom seat post that was fairly popular in the mid-1990s ATB scene.

Yes, looks like a 1990's design to me.
The post name is "Italmanubri", ITM for short, Italian maker of primarily stems and bars.
