I've seen them, but I don't remember who made them.  Obviously the mating
connector has a circular shell with a ring to screw it to the part in
the picture.  It's not the usual Jones plug, which has equal-size blades.
You could look at a bunch of Teletype parts books and maybe find it shown.

Time for an anecdote.  Teletype R&D used to have a yearly engineering 
convocation with speakers from inside and outside the company.  One of
the talks, which hardly needed any talking, just the visual display,
was by a manufacturing engineer.  He had two 4x8 sheets of plywood on
easels, each one filled with connectors we were using and the part 
numbers.  His plea was obvious: before you release yet another connector,
look at the ones we are already using and see if one of them won't do.
