I just double checked and I am wrong - the RGB card (KAGA-TAXAN (c) 1985)
only has an aux slot connector. I do however have an Apple composite card
which does have both connectors. Details below.

You might find the international NTSC platinum //e in Canada as you could then
have the French & English keyboard and video ROM.

Here are the details:

(C) 1985 APPLE
AIIE 80COL/64K MEMORY EXPANSION AND VIDEO
ASSEMBLED IN AUSTRALIA
P/N0: A661-91097

The aux slot has all the gold fingers while the slot 3 portion has exactly
one gold finger. This is pin 34 which is -5v. This is fed into part UX9 which
has the following written on it:

M/C8645M
343-1001-B

It is some sort of hybrid part in a 10 pin SIL package, probably a video AMP
as the RCA connector on the back is connected to pin 9 of it via L2 (an
inductor or a resistor (brown/grey/gold/silver bands)).
