It's not a VGA connector. It's just 15KHz RGBS (aka SCART)

Not the same connector but it's the same signals.

23-pin D connectors were rare, expensive and overkill for RGBS. This is either a cost saving Or more likely a mistake.

I think they put on their schematics "15-pin D" to match VGA, not realising that VGA is "15-pin D-Sub".

From what I remember the fWSI video socket has a non standard pinout. (i.e. it's not the same as a MAC)

That is not a PCB 23-pin connector.
