Please help me to Identify these Display (?) Cables!

I have an Apple High Resolution Monochrome Monitor, which has a DB15 connector. It powers on, but I have nothing with which to connect and test it. (For context, these came with a non-working IIsi, just to give you an idea of the era.) With that, I've found three cables, which may or may not have anything to do with it:

Two with a 15-pin male connectors to a smaller 15-pin male connector, that's about 3/4-inch wide;
One with a 15-pin male connector with several pins missing to a small 9-pin female connector. (This is missing pins 1 and 3-8 on the top row.)

My first thought was that the second cable might be associated with the Display -- several pins for that are not used, but it doesn't match the diagram in the manual.

One of the two says "Radius" on the ferrite core, so I think I can safely assume this went with another Display. (Not sure what else it might be used for, though.)

Any information would be appreciated!

Can you grab some photos? Of the pins and of the two housings. Apple cables have a part number moulded in them.

No identifiable markings, apart from the one that's marked "Radius." (There is information printed on the cables, or course, if that becomes of any use.)
