That "Twist-Tite" is not what we know as a "twist-lock". These were designed to take a standard straight-blade plug and to hold it firmly. We went through a similar search on the Greenkeys list regarding the RA-87 loop supply - Here's some of the conversation -
---------------
Paul Birkel: I have an RA-87 loop supply that I’d like to resurrect but am having difficulty with the DC loop power connectors. They are Hubbell 9213 l “Twist-Tite” female receptacles as seen in the attached photo. The diameter across the outer edge of the prongs is exactly 5/8”. I can’t find any “Twist-Tite” documentatio.
------------------
Me -
I found a 1949 electrical supply catalog with the 9213 "Twist-Tite" receptacle.
https://archive.org/details/MadisonElectricCo/page/n175/mode/2up?q=%22twist+tite%22The catalog included several other styles of Twist-Tite receptacles (pages 174-175) but NO PLUGS. It says that these take standard parallel blade plugs/caps and provide greater retention. Weird - have you tried a standard parallel-blade plug?

Findings:
1. Both polarized and non-polarized two-blade plugs can be fit into the receptacle, in either direction and equally easily. I had to search for a while to find a polarized two-blade plug until I realized that my Ryobi drill had one (which surprised me then, and still does now … IMO it should be three-blade/prong).
2. The correct insertion is fully CCW (oriented 215-135 degrees in the photo). Assuming that the plug has a rectangular body then the long axis aligns with the dog-leg.
3. Twisting the plug CW ~45 degrees results in a satisfying click; the orientation is then 0-180 degrees in the photo.
4.After the click the plug basically can’t be removed with reasonable force, apparently due to a tight friction-grip. I didn’t try to force it, but the pull that I did try definitely was well beyond what might be caused by a hanging cord, including a trip over said cord.
========================
Have Fun and let us know if this works!
