Yes, and no. Mine has "New Ideas" embossed on the plastic part, not Altrex.
But I think they are probably made by the same manufacturer, or by someone who
bought the rights from the original. Does your Duo sync cord consist of two
pieces of extruded aluminum with plastic inserts, connected by a curly cord
that looks like it was stolen from a telephone? If so, they are basically the
same.
One other modification I did to mine was to push up the secondary contacts on
the flash shoe, to give them a better chance of reaching my Sunpak flash.
