The easy way to find out is put a calipers on it and see what it is.
I've quit trying to figure it out logically.
Unlikely to be a warp.

The Sony ECM-MS957 uses a 5 pin to mini stereo cord like you want, comes
with one. You might check for that one from a Sony parts supplier.
I build my own cords.
