I would guess that one of the shielded wires is audio and the other video. If black is ground, white presumably must be +12V or +5V or whatever. It's entirely possible that the signals are not NTSC video or normal analog audio, but some other analog or digital signaling scheme.
Do you have access to the internals of the camera and/or monitor for it? Possibly (if you're really lucky) the PCBs would have markings for what wire is what. It's rather a long shot; you'd more likely just have a J2 or similar for the whole connector.
Randomly applying +12V to various of the outputs could conceivably destroy circuitry in the camera, though one would hope it would be protected against such abuse.
