Hue, I see 3 pins in that image, correct?    If so, I'd say it's not 
original, as the photo in the manual shows a 2 pin connector of the 
Amphenol 80 series that were commonly used as mic connectors by Heathkit 
and others.   However to avoid having power on exposed pins, the male is 
on the radio, meaning the cable needs to have the female version, which 
is less common.

On my TR-9 someone resolved this by substituting the one-pin version of 
the 80 series with the outer ring providing the ground contact.  Not a 
problem given the low current requirement.    I didn't get the cable 
with it, nor the metal top cover (if anyone has a spare lying around),  
so I don't know what the original cable looked like.   Neat little rig!
