Is this thing a rangefinder or a helmet antenna?

Some consider it a rangefinder:

 
Part No: 61190d  Name: Minifigure, Helmet Antenna / Rangefinder for Helmet SW Clone Trooper with Holes
* 
61190d Minifigure, Helmet Antenna / Rangefinder for Helmet SW Clone Trooper with Holes
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory

 
Minifig No: sw1078  Name: Mandalorian Tribe Warrior - Female, Dark Brown Cape, Green Helmet with Antenna / Rangefinder
* 
sw1078 (Inv) Mandalorian Tribe Warrior - Female, Dark Brown Cape, Green Helmet with Antenna / Rangefinder
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars The Mandalorian

 
Minifig No: sw1077  Name: Mandalorian Tribe Warrior - Female, Black Cape, Light Bluish Gray Helmet with Antenna / Rangefinder
* 
sw1077 (Inv) Mandalorian Tribe Warrior - Female, Black Cape, Light Bluish Gray Helmet with Antenna / Rangefinder
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars The Mandalorian

Some consider it a helmet antenna:

I have no interest in Star Wars whatsoever, but I do have an interest in consistent
titling of catalog entries. So which is it?

Technically, it’s an antenna tipped with a rangefinder.

So how about we label it as just that “antenna/rangefinder”

Sure, sounds decent enough. I'll submit the title change requests.

Also—these things should be added on the helmet for pictures one way (on left
side or right side) for consistency

I believe they are pictured as they are shown assembled in the instructions.
So if Lego is inconsistent, that will be reflected in the BL catalog.
