I bet it is intended as a mic but is just a small speaker. The low Z is boosted by the box which is an input transformer.

Almost all passive electrical machinery is reciprocal.

Yes. I seem to recall (in the dark, distant past), during "experiments", I was able to use a speaker as kind of a microphone. Icon_crazy Odd, but semi-effective. Icon_wtf Could be a hybrid?

Dunno about that, but a small PM speaker makes a very good microphone, just use an output transformer in reverse. Done all the times in old time intercoms. In fact they sometimes used 45 ohm PM speakers to minimize losses in wiring from remotes to masters. Dunno about modern ones though.
