The older version of the 1084s uses a 6-pin DIN RGB lead. I've got one of them myself. The SCART version has those DIN ports missing/covered.

The pins are essentially identical - it's just a different plug. You could make an adapter to go from DIN to DB9 or vice-versa easily enough.

depends how its wired up
as BBC cub monitors are 6 pin but they are digital so that 14 or 16 colours so it unlikely for that
 
Definitely an Amiga to 1st version of 1084S (Philips made).

If you don't have this Philips version you can offer it here or redo one of the ends to hook a C64 to your 1084 via composite or s-video.

Here goes the pinouts of different 1084 versions (courtesy of The Big Book of Amiga Hardware) :

Pin 1: Unused
Pin 2: Red
Pin 3: Green

Pin 8: Vertical Sync
