The yellow connector is an xt30/xt60, and this obviously ties ground on it to some sort of ground screw.

Beyond that it could be from anything. Those connectors are common, but frequently used on drones and other rc gear.

Yeah, I think OP is overestimating the specificity of usage of these connectors.
