[Antennas] Rotator Identification

I have acquired an assortment of rotators over the last few weeks. All fall
under the status of "Well it was workin' when I put it on the shelf ..." ...
none came with controllers but I have in my possession a few controllers of
the same status that I have acquired over the last few years.

Here is where the green shows ....

In all my experiences as a Ham I have NEVER had any first hand dealings with
identifying, testing, wiring, mounting or rebuilding a rotator.

So my question is (to start with) how do I determine the manufacturer and
model of each of these and then how do I locate wiring information for them
as well as general and maintenance information. My eyes are far from
perfect, but I have yet to find a single identifying mark on any of the ones
I have examined .... maybe I just haven't looked in the right place with a
magnifier yet ... I dunno ??

Thanks for any guidance you can offer ... it ain't easy bein' green
