Seems unlikely. They were probably scrapped rather than resold because
the original application is obsolete. Also, it would be a significant
job to take the module apart so that you could cut off the connector so
neatly. There are easier and faster ways to prevent reuse. Maybe the
connector pins were gold plated and that batch got recycled before they
could be rescued.

Connectors cut off so it can not be used in its original application?

Take a look at the pictures for # 270725678037 . These boards don't
have the connector cut off of the corner of the board. Good eyes.

Most of the parts (and their grouping) seem the same as the NTPX26AB -
which based on my quick play with one seems to have basically the same
hardware as a Thunderbolt. The only strange thing I noticed was that
although it would work with the Trimble tbolt software Lady Heather
couldn't recognize it.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but looking at that photo it looks like part
of the board has been cut off - this would also explain the slightly
evasive "I'll tell you where the power goes after you buy it". Of
course, this won't necessarily stop it from working, but it might be
worth checking.

There are some Trimble GPS receivers on eBay. They say "10Mhz 1pps"
but they are not Thunderbolts. These are an A4 sized PCB, no
enclosure. The seller says it takes 48VDC to run. Seems reasonable
as there is a large DC/DC power converter in the board.
Anyone know more? How to they compare to the Thunderbolt?
Good photos at Auction #300628220912
