Those are Grove connectors (see: So what is a Grove Connector?), according to the specs. They are a standardized connector of I²C and SPI bus, designed by Seeed Studio. They are unusual, but you can find them for sale. You can get PCB mount versions, breakouts, and cables.

I last bought those cables for only ~$10.00USD for 40! So you might be able to find some cheaper. If you need pigtails the longer cables can be cut in half, or some other proportion as more universal way to get them. Since they are not common, looking out for gouging. Some vendors try to price them very high.

Before you decide this is the solution
(though all indications are that it is) get a sample or two and test. The connectors used for Grove are always compatible but not always identical. The housings can appear very different while still working perfectly.

Many thanks for your help. I will take a look.

I think I have found the correct part on eBay and have ordered some. I wont know until they arrive in the new year, but I will confirm in-case anyone else looks for them and finds this thread.

The description is:- HY2.0 Plug Connector Pitch 2.0mm Terminal Housing With Lock buckle 2/3/4/5/6-10P
