They're not Molex, they're AMP, and since they're the pins for that series

the case of the wide flat ones :-)) are from the AMP Commercial Mate-N-Lok
series. So are the 3-pin DEC power bus cables.

I am assuming that if I can find the
shells, I can find a pin from either AMP or Molex which will work.
I've kludged together cables for a PDP-11/34 by using the pins
out of those 4-pin Molex connectors that are normally used on
disk and tape drives.
