Variants of a term incorporating 'distribution/distributeur' are included in the lists of applications:
The three occurences are:
'APPLICATIONS: ... Amélioration de la durée de vie des pistons, distributeurs et pompes hydrauliques'
'APPLICATIONS: ... Boîtes de distribution, boîtes de vitesse pour les pelles hydrauliques minières'

Do these all refer to the engine timing system?

Note from asker:
| Dear Barbara - my concern with 'manifold' is its association with 'collecteur', which seems to be the very opposite of 'distributeur'! |
| I see it is used in both directions. |
Discussion
It was not difficult to find similar symbols in English technical literature, which most often used 'directional control valve'.
Example in English: https://hydraulicsonline.com/technical-knowledge-hub/hydraul...
However, as this seems to be to do with hydraulic equipment, I have the distinct feeling that this is all about the special 'valves' used to direct and distribute hydaulic power.
