J15 to P1 or P2 on 7000DLE MKII

While disassembling my 7000 I labeled all the connectors except the ribbon cable on the Orion board from J15. Can someone tell me if it plugs into P1 or P2? When I removed it I did not notice there were two connectors right next to each other that are identical.

The Orion board J15 is the "Alex" connector, it carries the signals that go to the PA/RF board J7 via that ribbon cable.

Hopefully that answers your question, not sure what you mean about "P1" and "P2".

If P1/P2 means the connections on the Orion board, the following applies.
P1 header provides connections for CW, loudspeaker and PTT (used e.g. to use the relevant signals with the Andromeda panel).
P2 is an FPGA programming port for USB Blaster if I'm not mistaken.
