Originally, they were known collectively as "AN" connectors. In the early 
1950's, some vendors begain listing them as "MS" connectors. The have also 
been known as "Amphenol" connectors and as "Cannon" connectors, depending upon 
which industry the speaker was in. Today, the probably most correct 
collective name for the series is "MIL-C 5015" connectors.

I have them. Bill Perry has them. Fair Radio probably has them. And you can 
still buy them new.

As already stated, no. I can't think of a military nomenclatured FSK 
converter that does (although there could be one). By contrast, virtually all of 
the civilian converters do, including some bought by the US military.
