I can't help with connectors.  Have you tried William (Bill) Perry
in Kentucky?  (He has no real internet presence.)

The USN used the AN/URC-58 for HF USB comms on the Vietnam War
PCFs ("Swift Boats"), along with the AN/VRC-46 (VHF-FM) and
AN/PRC-41 (UHF-AM).

The US Army's version was the AN/GRC-165.

Do you have the antenna tuning unit (RF-302)?

Interesting set.  It has a reputation for copious spurious emissions
if it is not adjusted properly.
