Any ideas on data reference for LCD module?

Any ideas on data reference for LCD module?

(OP)
I've come across an LCD module, VERY tiny unit, in an existing design.  It's a small, 4 char. by 2 line unit, measuring .75" x .75" x .0625".  I'm interested in using this module for a design I'm working on, but the unit is completely devoid of any markings, and the manufacturer isn't lettin' on who makes it.  I'm nearly certain it's a production model, not manufactured by (or specifically for) this company, since it's not a high-quantity product.  I originally thought it may be a Hitachi HD44780-style controller, since the connector on the module has 14 pins (it's not backlit), but it only has 9 of the pins connected;  The first 3 and last 2 pins are not.  Since every hitachi design I've ever seen uses the first 3 pins for vcc, vss, and voo, I'm pretty sure it's not hitachi-based.  Also, I tracked down the vcc/vss lines and tried feeding it a few hitachi commands in 4-bit, with several variations of possible pinouts, with no response.
Anyway, does anyone know anything about a production model module like this?  My searches have all turned up blank so far...
