Sure looks like Technicolor to me. Photo is from a Michael Powell production in England. He did make a Technicolor film ironically named "The Life and Times of Colonel Blimp".

The OP photo of a camera w/blimp looks a bit smaller then the original 3 strip Technicolor camera. -Steve D.

The photo on the left in Steve D.'s last reply is one made for the original 3-strip Technicolor camera. The photo on the right is the same type of blimp, but modified to take the Technirama conversion of the 3-strip camera to Techicolor's version of VistaVision (8 perf horizontal film motion.) A further conversion to the Technirama blimp involved increasing the lens access glass on the right of the blimp (as pictured) to much wider proportions allowing for the making of "Super-Technirama" negatives via anamorphic prismatic lenses. The latter was usually printed to 70mm print stock but could be released on via Tech's 35mm dye-transfer printing method.
I've shot with both the 3-strip configuration and the Technirama style blimp and in neither case is it for the faint of heart. 300 lbs. plus depending upon what's inside!
