Hardware question - does anyone know what is this connector?

I thought at first it's some sort of JST ZH or PH connector, but it isn't? As far as I can tell. The pin pitch is somewhere around 2.0mm. It's 8mm wide.

I want to do a reversible fan replacement on a Commodore CDTV, and don't want to cut the original wiring.

Edit: it's a Molex MicroBlade, thanks for the boosts and input everyone!

@chainq might it be in the service manual? Did you check already?
(not got a CDTV but sometimes I can find connector names in parts lists for other commodore stuff)

@wyatt The Commodore part number comes from the service manual, so yes, I checked there, but that number only shows up in the CDTV service manual... 😅

@chainq lots of commodore parts were made in korea and hong kong so i wonder if they sourced the connectors there

@wyatt Meanwhile in other replies it got figured out that it's a Molex MicroBlade connector, but it's not made any more. There seems to be a Chinese clone/second source available though.
