The best place to ask your question is probably the Compact Macs 
email list which you can access through the lowendmac.com website.

At a guess, your board was built for either a pre-VGA monitor (EGA?, 
CGA?).  I know I saw monochrome monitors back in the early 90s with a 
DB9 connector.  However, it is possible that the board was 
specifically designed for one of the specialized monitors from 
sellers such as Radius.  In those cases, you'll usually find a 
marking on the board such as TPD (two page display) or similar.
