That radio might be standard equipment in an older Samurai, or other Suzuki Jimmy variant.
We have 2 GTi's and neither have that radio.
Our General Motors microfiche shows different style radios as standard or optional for our '89's.
The radios shown by Mr. topdown seem to be correct.
I haven't looked at our '92 GT, but I believe it has an upgraded head unit, installed by the previous owner. Like you say, I think it is a Clarion.
When these cars were sold, dealers had quite a free reign as to the type of head unit that they could install (the customer was always right) to sell a car.
So if you removed that radio from an '89 (GTi), it is entirely possible that a dealer installed it and they certainly had the option to install something from a different model Suzuki, depending what they had in stock or what was readily obtainable.
You could ask on a Samurai forum, or look over there.
There is a lot of interest in the Suzuki off road vehicles online.
I've got some original radios in my storage boxes somewhere, and the weather is getting to the point where I can get out to the garage and go through them if you'd like. I do have one or two which look somewhat similar to that one you've posted.
The wire you have might be for a separate bass speaker, but someone more into stereos may be of more help. It doesn't look like the right type of connector for the type of antenna which extends when you turn on the unit.
Most of my Teamswift photos are still on Photobucket, so if you want to disable your adblocker and look for 'pacapo' there you will find a folder for many different Suzuki cars from 1985-1994, including interior shots. Most of the pictures are stock photos.
My daily driver is an '87 Chevrolet Sprint, and the horns look like your Casper 2.0, but of course, all our cars are rust free. That's why we aren't crushing them.
Too bad t3ragtop isn't around; he would love this thread!
