These spark plugs came with an engine I am rebuilding. What are they and is there any benefit to this type of plug?

My mini requires a plug that looks like that from the factory. I tried putting normal plugs in and it immediately started missing. I suspect it has something to do with the high compression engine. I like good old fashioned copper ngk.
