I am just saying this part resembles very closely whats on the prop - but I don't believe its the actual physical object that was used - and I think @troopers picture really brought it home to me. It *might* be a different version of the same connector, or it might be something altogether different that looks a lot like the connector. I don't know. I'll also add I don't think my thoughts carry much weight at all - but sometimes someone not emotionally involved can offer some perspective!
Your opinions are worth exactly what everyones else is No emotional involvement here just technical curiosity and a desire for accuracy. I believe this is the correct connector but we may not have found the exact version.

look at post 296. I'm not real sure this is the right part. unless there is some odd lens distortion
I saw those pics and distortion in moving images is always a possibility but I concur that the versions(s) we have collectively in our possession may not be the bingo match it is most certainly an 8 Pin connector of this type.
