The 'R' position is not needed for the Remote Receiver - it's the transmit/receive relay line and the relay grounds the aerial input in the receiver and mutes the audio amplifier (via the -1200V line that provides cathode bias to the PA stage.) (It doesn't have -1200 volts on it, just the 813 cathode bias voltage, I assume.)

If you need a spare connector I can post you the ones I have here as a source for spare contacts - the contacts are retained by a screw and nut so should be easy to swap out.
