All current directions from top to bottom:

Source current of MN1:
Is_MN1 = Id_MN1 = I1 = IDC

Current through R1:
I_R1 = Id_MP1 + Is_MN1 - I3
= Id_MP1 + IDC - IDC
= Id_MP1

Voltage across R1:
V_R1 = V_IN1 - VGS_MN1 = I_R1 * R1 = Id_MP1 * R1

Drain current of MP1:
Id_MP1 = (V_IN1 - VGS_MN1) / R1

Drain current of MP2 is the same, as MP1 is equal to MP2:
Id_MP2 = Id_MP1 = (V_IN1 - VGS_MN1) / R1

Source current of MN2:
Is_MN2 = Id_MN2 = I2 = IDC

Current through R3:
I_R3 = Id_MP3 + Id_MP2 + Is_MN2 - I4
= Id_MP3 + Id_MP2 + IDC - IDC
= Id_MP3 + Id_MP2

Voltage across R3:
V_R3 = V_IN2 - VGS_MN2 = I_R3 * R3 = (Id_MP3 + Id_MP2) * R3

Drain current of MP3:
(Id_MP3 + Id_MP2) * R3 = V_IN2 - VGS_MN2
Id_MP3 + Id_MP2 = (V_IN2 - VGS_MN2) / R3
Id_MP3 = (V_IN2 - VGS_MN2) / R3 - Id_MP2
= (V_IN2 - VGS_MN2) / R3 - (V_IN1 - VGS_MN1) / R1

Drain current of MP4 is the same, as MP4 is equal to MP3:
Id_MP4 = Id_MP3

Output voltage:
V_OUT = V_R2 = Id_MP4 * R2
= R2 * ((V_IN2 - VGS_MN2) / R3 - (V_IN1 - VGS_MN1) / R1)

As MN1 and MN2 are identical, and R1 = R2 = R3:
V_OUT = V_IN2 - V_IN1

So itZ a differential amplifier with a gain of 1.

Looks like a current-output op-amp with a single-ended output (source,
very limited sink. At least, the three output transistors look like a
servo'd current mirror, with MP1 and MP2 providing the differential
capability.

Only half of this actual IC cell is shown (for proprietary reasons),
but power consumption of the total cell is 1.37uA.

Laurent, You are correct!

It is refreshing to see that there are lurkers here who can actually
analyse!

From simple inspection:
ID(MP1) = I(R1) = ID(MP2)

MN1 and MN2 have identical constant bias current so:
*when IN2 IN1
V(MN1s)-V(MN2s)=V(IN1)-V(IN2)

then ID(MP3) = I(R3)-ID(MP2) = (V(IN2)-V(IN1))/R3 = ID(MP4)

then Vout = V(IN2)-V(IN1)

*when IN2 IN1
Vout obviously can't go negative because of the output circuit, but
also because ID(MP2) I(R3). Then the MN2/MP3 loop goes open and MP2
steals some bias current to MN2.
