Is there a such thing as a polarized C1 connector? (lemm.ee)

I found a radio from 2003 that was missing a power cord, and I first thought it needed a polarized C7 power cord, but it won't fit at all. Looking at it more closely, it looks like a polarized C2 connector, but it's also locking? I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything for the C1/C2 connectors that's polarized, not even considering the locking aspect. Is this something anyone is familiar with? It's not a high end or particularly old radio or anything.

Here is a link to a picture, I wasn't able to upload it to lemmy directly.

That doesn't look like any IEC 60320 connector. Who is the manufacturer? You might have better luck searching for "power cable $MFR $MODEL".

What country are you in? Its possible they have their own standards body also defining this ( like NEMA in the US)
