Group,

Couple (well 4) of comments for the benefit of Command Set collectors:

(a) I have a few PL-152-A's (8-contact open wire style)
(b) PL-153 does not fit the MD-7 and C-29 control box, only fits the ATA and 
SCR-274N units.
(c) A.R.C. 12341 and 14320 (19-pin) as well as two others that aren't on 
their list can be turned into PL-153 or A.R.C. 6962/9585 (for MD-7) by 
removing the alignment key and selective blocking of the appropriate 19th 
socket.  Backshell style won't quite match of course.
(d) There are two backshell styles for the WW-II Command Set connectors 
(cable and open wire), three styles for the SCR-522 ones and four to seven 
styles for the large banana pin types used on various Army and Navy sets.  
These are usually indicated by presence or absence of a suffix letter 
(Command Sets) or by a buried version letter (others).  In a few cases, it 
may be indicated by a completely different PL- or Navy Type number.  If you 
are trying to match an existing setup, be sure you know what you are getting.
