I have seen longer sets of pins on motherboards, and
it's two sets of pins next to one another.

If they actually have "extra" pins on an assembly, then
it is dead easy to design a sensor pin. Your product then
needs a manual, to document how that works.

Looking at the cable assembly, may provide a hint. It
all depends on whether a front panel PCB board is removable
so you can examine PCB traces.
