Not at only 8 pins when those panels of that era were typically 16 to 20 pins and except for a short mylar cable where it was against the back of the screen, they had shielding from hell on them. 8 pins are not enough.
Look up the SED 1351 LCD controller--it drives a "skinny parallel" LCD interface with 8 wires--using exactly the pins that are connected to the RJ-45. And the DB-25 connects to the address and data lines of the controller, not to the LCD. Many LCD panels of the day had additional demuxing chips packaged with them for this kind of drive. -michael AppleCrate: An Apple II "blade server"!
