Yes it looks very much like the original ISO-style stereo loom connector plug. You can get the ISO-DIN adaptor looms for peanuts off eBay vendors, if you intend to fit a modern stereo with the universal DIN connectors.

In that case it could be a plug for aftermarket OEM gauges. I have the Lamco triple gauge set in my MY93 and I replaced them the other month for the same, but white-faced, set, and from memory their loom plugs into a connector like that i.e. similar to the stereo one, as you say...

Thats not for the back of the clocks, there are three sets of wires that go into the back of the clocks, two are white with big pins on them (slide into the printed circuit) and a blue one...

I would say that looks like a wire that links the dash wires into the cars plug... check above the fuse box, there should be 4 blocks under there, it should plug into one of them, and your indicators and everything should then work

Lol just got back from working on the car but forgot the camera, but was about to say it might be hiding behind the trim (as its a loose wire, not connected to the main junction box)
