The given reaction is known as cross aldol condensation.

In a crossed aldol reaction, two different carbonyl compounds are applied. If both carbonyl compounds contain an α hydrogen atom, both may act as electrophilic carbonyl compound, as well as nucleophilic enol or enolate. ... As a result, such a crossed aldol reaction yields four different products.
