Looks like the L88 cowl induction hood. or a knockoff of that.
You get that as an entire hood, not as an "accessory" to add to your existing hood.

Look closer, I made the same mistake.
Hes not asking about the L88 type hood, it’s the weird little clear “wind diverter” or whatever it is mounted in the middle of it. It’s hard to see at first.
Looks like 2 brackets and a piece of clear acrilyc photoshopped onto top of scoop. I was talking about that.
It is a screen capture from a video game. The whole picture is CGI and not real.
To answer the OPs original question, yes, it is a deflector and functions to keep bugs off the windshield during long distance endurance races. Before the days of tear-off windshield protectors.
I'm guessing it's to help to deflect road grime and debris up and over the windshield when racing in the wet. Never seen one installed except for the attached photos above.

I posted that reply from a small tablet. I missed it on the small screen.
Yeah, I see it on the computer screen. It's a rain/grime deflector. It was installed on endurance cars in wet conditions, and sometimes at night (to deflect bugs). Someone mentioned, it does partially do away with the "high pressure zone" at the base of the windshield that cowl induction takes advantage of. If you're racing in the rain, a small reduction in power from that probably isn't a bad thing.

Hood defector ... middle of hood?
