I downloaded your photo and was able to expand it a little. The connectors look odd -- not quite like a Douglas which has a concave holding section -- but more like a straight pin tube socket plug. They do appear to be very oxidized. If they do replace those in the existing plug they will need to be cleaned. In the back of my mind I remember some years had non removable pins molded into the rubber or bakelite housing. On those I believe the pins were hollow and old wires had to be unsoldered and pulled out. The new switch wires were resoldered into the old pins.
