HazelNuts & ThermalSniffer may be right, these model of IMU could be a part of the Ariane 5 boosters upper stage: Centrales inertielles - Sensorex - Capteur de déplacement, enregistreur de choc, électronique, micro électronique, conditionneur de signal, sécurité intrinsèque, inclinomètre, accéléromètre, gyromètre

Correction: it seems that there are no IMU in the Ariane boosters, only in the equipment bay of the main stage that goes to orbit with the payload.
