They're standard game port pads hooked up with a Y adapter.

Since the copyright date on the PCB is 92-93 then the name of it is...a Gravis Gamepad!
Seriously, the orignal gamepad (with four buttons, each a different color), was just called the "Gravis Gamepad". Later on they brought out the "Gamepad Pro" which looked like a cheap PSX knockoff.
Take a look here (German site but w/ pics):

The original gravis gamepad was the last PC gamepad I bought (not including steering wheels)! I remember playing commander keen with it and I even played thru doom and doom2 with that gamepad. It's probably still in my parent's basement somewhere.

The original Gravis Gamepad is still my favorite. I must of bought a dozen 'fancier' pads for my PC since then, but you just can't beat that gamepad. IMO. It just felt comfortable in my hands.
