After 2 days of scouring Mouser, Digikey, image files, and various manufacturers, I can't find replacements for this 2mm pitch, 11 position, square pin receptacle/connector that include the PCB stabilizing clips at the ends. I've tried multiple keyword variations, and all I can find are right angle receptacles without the clips. I'm redesigning some burned circuit boards for a rare Audire amplifier, and would definitely prefer to replace this with the same configuration if it's even possible.
Any help much appreciated - thanks!

Replace with:
0) https://www.scondar.com/female-headers/2-0mm-right-angle-through-hole-single-row-female-header/
1) 1mm header with alternate pins removed (need to change cable as well).
2) 2mm FFC connector (SMD) to stay in style while catching up with the times (need to change cable as well).

Most likely obsolete and/or proprietary configuration.
There are some 12 way ones here that you might be able to just snip the additional pin off, depending on how the plug attaches: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255422509227

Definitely 2mm, not 2.54mm? Most of the similar plugs I've seen have been 0.1".
Also, have a look for Molex 4455 series:

Hi @newvirus2008 - thank you. The first option is what I've been finding available widely, but it lacks the board clips at the ends. The 1mm pitch pins are too small, and the SMD connectors would be a challenge because these boards mate with the input boards, already configured.
However, @avtech - you prompted me to re-measure, and I didn't get it right the first time. These are 2.54mm pitch! Thank you for the links - that first one looks exactly like these, but 12 pin as you noted. The link to the Molex 4455 was helpful, as it gave me the terminology I was lacking - "cat's ears" are what they call the end clips. Looks like they have just the one I need - KK254.
Thank you both for your time and help - I was at a dead end.
