Square edged connector is the one on the earlier car (usuallly 1996 and before).

Conversely, it is more expensive than the later ones.

Better off buying it off ebay.

Timbuk, these links have pics and Vx part numbers

It's probably this one:

Vauxhall Parts are 36.00 pounds for early one and 44.00 pounds for later one strangely enough :-/ Stealer has just quoted 63.00 pounds for the one they think it is which is neither of the prices quoted on here. Think they just made it up ::)

Now I'm getting confused, Timbuk.  :-[

The oval one I bought a few weeks ago for my 1995 2.5 was this one (which is relatively more expensive):
