Help on identifying something on Vietnam UH-1 Nose

[Robswashashore]

Hello all--

 

I am building a model of a Huey UH-1 and just wondered if you helicopter experts out there could identify the thing that this pilot has his hand on? Are they antennae? I know the single thing in between is the pitot tube.

 

Thanks for your help!

Yes, they are antennas for FM homing.
