It's an HUD-Projector as can be seen by the switch to the right, below the red INOP-label where it says 'HUD'.
Looks like an AI test installation to me (as the A/C is also fitted with an alpha-indicator left of the PFD) or is there any airline operating HUDs on the A320?

It is a HUD, and I believe Air Inter before they were swallowed by Air France used HUDS on their A320s ( like on the Mercures ).
If the ex IT 320s operated by AF still have them , or uses it, I do not know.

actually we still have theses old (and noisy) aircraft but the hud's are all inop since about 2 years. but it's a big problem to take them off (apparently) so they just leave them. the AOA gauge works though and it's very interesting to understand how it works. the hud was very basic but (i'm only the f/o) the cpt's say it was mostly useful in visual approaches.
