The company I worked for right out of HS did a lot of work for Boing Aircraft and the aerospace industry making test systems. Those connectors were on the back of rack mounted equipment. They were used because they thought the heavy cables would have caused problems hanging down off the regular Amphenols that we all know. We used those by the thousands also.
