The complete, various 8-pin plug and socket assemblies are covered, as are the leaf type socket connectors. Perhaps these terminal tag strips and the blade connectors were considered robust enough to never need replacing. By comparison, you can see a lot of stretched and broken leaf connectors from having had screwdrivers jammed into them in an attempt to turn their retaining screws, which is a totally incorrect way of trying to work on these connectors.

The parts must show up in another manual reference somewhere.

Probably not: they're a Canadian Marconi item and probably only available as a complete unit, configured to the actual application. (Especially given the difficulty of changing an individual contact without wrecking the spring.)
