Vauxhall Nova L standard headunit remove for aftermarket head unit

Can you get a pic of the original (car side) loom and plug/s? Might be able to visually match it to the right adapter then

the adapter connects into the back of this as you can see, it's a weird looking connector as this is the first time I've seen something quite like it??

That is weird.

I'd suggest running completely new wiring, rather than trying to fudge the old stuff to match a modern head unit. Saves cutting the existing loom (so you can stick it back to standard in future), and avoids any risk of overloading 25+ year old wires

You've got an early one there, the adaptors are designed for the later type. What you can do is wire the ignition live into the permenant but you'd have to remember to turn off the radio each time you leave the car. Or just run a live from the back of the barrel a black wire is what you want as that's a switched live.
