I didn't know the name of the connection thingy. I bought the screen a 
few years ago and I haven't used that RPI for a long time.

[goes and looks at reference pictures on wikipedia]

There is a super flat grey ribbon cable connected to the DSI connecter 
at one end of the PI near the µSD card marked "DISPLAY". The LCD display 
itself seems to be the one listed here 
(https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/display/7-inch-display-product-brief.pdf).

The PI, LCD and frame are all bolted together, and I'm not going to 
dismantle them looking for all the silkscreening. I can clearly see 
(well, as clearly as I can see anything at my age) a raspberry pi logo 
on the LCD board, so it must be the official display.

As I mentioned in my second email, I have found the config.txt settings 
that I need.

Maybe this erratic info dump will help someone else in the future.

Cheers,
Lloyd
