I had to do a little digging, but I was sure I'd seen a pic of Dan Aykroyd holding this prop as well.
In fact, this is what inspired the pose in the photo above, the one you asked about.
Both photos were originally contributed by Cyland Props in this thread on GBFans:
BlkMesa's Belt Fob Project - Page 2 - Community - Ghostbusters Fans Forum
It's nearly impossible to make it out in the film. During the 'ghost jogger' section of the montage, we don't see Dan Aykroyd's hands very clearly. They're out of frame in his closeup and too distant (or obscured by foreground action) in the wide shot.
However, if we jump to a leftover snippet in the end credits montage, there's a brief glimpse of something that might be the sound level meter, in his left hand.
He appears to holster it or put it in his jacket pocket as he walks over to Bill Murray, because by the time they do their celebratory dance, his left hand is empty.
So the behind-the-scenes pic is the best evidence in this case... unless the just-announced GB2 Blu-Ray has a better picture quality.
Alas, it has only been announced for a French release, nothing in the US yet, but... c'est la vie.
