4 pin connector hunt

I am trying to mod an old JBOD unit (rackable se3016) with another PSU. There are 3 backplanes that use what appears to be an ATX 4 pin, but it’s different in that the wiring is actually for a peripheral (instead of 2x 12v rails, there is 1x 5v rail and 1x 12v rail). Originally I planned on getting a modular supply and connecting it directly; but with this pin out I’ll need an adapter. Will I need a custom cable made or does anyone else have an idea of the connector name?

The pin out is
{Grnd | 5v}
{Grnd | 12v}

Should be molex minifit (jr?). Would have to see the keying (visible from the end of the connector, looking into it) to know if you need to order a specific part or make a custom order.
 
The plastic connector and pins are easy to get, but adapters are scarce. Probably easiest to roll your own.

it is physically the same as a 4 pin ATX connector. you could probably buy some molex to ATX adapters and mod them fairly easily.

Looks to be common connector used for not just computers then, as I needed one as well for my HD Radio tuner!
