With what you guys have said, I'm beginning to think maybe they're rcvr/ant
modules. Haven't encountered those before. What would they be used with if
there's a receiver also in the coupler module?

Any way to use the coupler part as a conventional coupler? Maybe pins 3 and
4 to a conventional loran set?


No - if it is a receiver/antenna unit, the Loran-C RF won't be
available on that cable - only serial data (probably NMEA-0183). The
display unit it was intended to be used with was progbably just a
navigation computer that would display position, and deal with
waypoints, routes, etc.
