I saw a grip attached to a Canon EOS 50D that doesn’t look like a standard battery grip. From the back, it has a small LCD in the upper-left area, two status LEDs labeled “USB” and “LAN,” and it also includes an AF-ON button. What accessory is this, and is it a genuine Canon model or a third-party clone?

That is a Canon WFT-E3A Wireless Transmitter Grip for the 40D and 50D...
It allows you to upload photos immediately to a computer or other storage device, as you're shooting.

It’s a genuine Canon WFT-E3A Wireless File Transmitter, made for the EOS 40D and 50D. It’s not a standard battery grip or a clone.
The giveaway features are the small status LCD plus the “USB” and “LAN” indicators, which are used for file-transfer and network functions. This accessory lets the camera send images directly to a computer or other storage device while you shoot.
