Samples of black and white connector mouldings are shown.
Photos of very similar - though not identical - parts have also appeared at NowhereElse.

And NowhereElse reports that the supposed iPad mini connector assembly "seems to be a genuine spare part produced on behalf of Apple" according to iFixit founder Kyle Wiens.
