NOPE. The "standard" power connector on 5.25" floppy drives was copied
from the SA400. Anything else is almost certainly
modified. But
modifications were not very rare. For example, the Apple][ used an
SA390,
which was the SA400 with different board. Some peddlers of aftermarket
drives for the Apple used SA400 drives, and replaced the circuit board -
which would result in different signal AND power connectors.
Not sure at all, but it certainly is
professional-looking. Due to my
inexperience, I've never seen an SA400 before and I thought there might
have been variations.
When you get a chance, try to trace out what it's connected to.
