What kind of tailpiece is this?

That would be a Schaller tailpiece and roller bridge. These were what Heritage used as original equipment up until around the mid-ish 2000s'. They had supply problems with Schaller and started to use TonePros and Seymour Duncan pickups. It was high quality stuff, but many didn't care for the non traditional looks (myself included). The roller bridge had one cool advantage. You could adjust the saddles to allow different string spacing's at the bridge.

Is there a difference in feel between that and a typical stoptail ?

It's kind of flat on top as opposed to a rounded stoptail. To me there was no huge difference in feel while playing. Didn't take much getting used to.

Not about just the tailpiece on that one, for sure....
