What kind of connector is this?

It's from an eBay bid page. It looks like it can be converted to a 5-pin AT DIN connector.

It might be XT.  If so, you're going to need a lot more than an adapter to get it working with a modern PC.

That's the 240 degree DIN-5 found on terminal keyboards.

Some sort of crazy, coalition connector because the engineers couldn't make up their collective mind?
