Interesting, but (on my phone at least) those pics don't show enough info for me to work out what it does and how it works.

I’ve seen something like this before, it is an extra altissimo vent that connects to LH1 so that when you are playing in the altissimo an extra vent opens up. How does it play?

This is a typical SML 'feature'; it mimics the way most high-end bass clarinets provide additional register keys (bassoons too).
As I recall, some of their saxophones also had additional register/octave features.
If you are interested there is an excellent summary of "All 22 Features" of the SML Gold Medal saxophones

It plays quite well. I had it beautifully restored by John Butler.
