This just might be it.

It's a 21 pin Japanese RGB connector, and the pin layout looks pretty much the same as yours.

Edit:
Is this what your talking about?

Whatever your connector is, it seems that there is an adaptor for it, as there is a VGA port on the back of that thing.

I've got one out of a Profile 2. The interface is LVDS and is NOT compatible with DVI. The board is identical to the pic you have posted.
I couldn't see the plug pic as well for the cable end. Someone makes adapter cables for the cables and has pinouts....I just can't find the url. If I find it I'll post it....might be a good reference. Good luck and post results.
