It's not a Jones plug. Jones plugs have flat pins, this one had round
pins. I've seen it refered to as a 'JIS connector', but I can't believe
that's the right name. I can see if any of the video recorder service
manuals I have give a more accurate name.
I had some Sony B&W reel to reel video gear that had those. They had
"Honda" written on them, and I have heard them referred to as "Honda
plugs", but I am almost certain that that was never the correct name for
them.
