Can you identify this mic?

I see it a lot as a vocal mic in old 70's tv footage. This picture is from the Last Waltz:

Looks like an AKG C451.

You could get a gooseneck capsule for these?

Yes, you could get little swivel adapters for the old AKG 451's.

Yes, I believe in the 60's, both swivels and gooseneck adaptors were available as options.
