Phil,

Can't identify the mfr. directly but at 5mm spacing and with the=20
sculpted underside, looks very similar to a Phoenix Contact plug-in=20
header.  The only thing stopping you from inserting one of them would be=20
the polarizer on the left inside of the plugs.  Wiedmuller and Molex=20
also make similar style connectors.=20
