As Tony pointed out, it can't properly be a "DB" anything, since a standard
9-pin shell is DE. Just because some people commonly refer to it as DB
doesn't mean it's correct, after all lots of people call the standard 9-pin
shell a DB. Amp, for example, refer to their entire standard series as
"DB" but that's not what most other manufacturers do.
McMurdo refer to the type used for VGA as HDE15 (and the next sizes up as
HDA26 and HDB44) which seems much more likely to be correct.
And I wouldn't particularly believe BlackBox, they're just one reseller.
