What is this e-paper connector? (feddit.de)

I got my hands on an old e-ink price tag and want to repurpose this display.

Unfortunately, I can't really figure out, what this type of connector/bus is called. To me it looks like a standard issue ribbon cable.

There are some "universal" e-paper drivers (for example this one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/353141399922), but I have absolutely no idea, how to find out, if that's the right connector.

The device is made by Imagotag, if that helps.

Edit: I added a picture of the panel: https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/42ee4f60-231a-4c42-9a66-6c369134c49c.jpeg

None of the "markings" returned any results and the QR code couldn't be decoded by my phone.

I added a picture of the panel, but as written in the other comment: no manufacturer to see - at least to me.

At least pin-count-wise, the driver I linked above should fit, and all e-ink displays for hobby use do seem to be driven by SPI, but whether it's the "same kind" of SPI and pinout....
