I certainly can't confirm or deny.  It looks like the same style of
connector used for the V.35 interface, but probably not the same number
of pins.  And I used one somewhat like that on one project, which
was a mating connector to a tabletop card reader, NCR I think made the
reader.

But gives me a chance to tell an old war story.  Teletype had some 
in-house seminars, usually during National Engineers Week, where both 
outside people and employees addressed the R&D staff in the auditorium. 
One I remember well, the presenter had two 4x8 ft sheets of plywood on 
easels.  Or maybe they were bigger than that.  At any rate they displayed 
all the different connectors in use in the company, which was an awful 
lot.  The speaker didn't need to say much, just "before you release yet
another kind of connector, see if there isn't one already released
that would do just as well."
