Are all 3 of those things prongs to plug into an outlet? Are the 2 on the left polarized (ie one blade wider)?
Does the odd prong on the right connect to either of the other 2?

As far as I can tell, all of the prongs are the same size. The prongs aren't removable. I

It's a device Leviton produced to test the function of TR receptacles. If you could push the two blades in but not the one, it's a TR.

If the 2 prongs on the left are to be plugged into a 120 v outlet, I can't see the prong on the right connecting to either of them...

Ken got it correct. It is not connected to anything but merely a test of the TR receptacles. If the one prong side goes into the receptacle then the TR part is not functioning.

If you like strange things.... This isn't Leviton, but it's an interesting idea. I searched for Leviton Adapter, and this was in the mix.
