Cool.  Do you have pictures of the "Trimline cord"?  The cord was the precursor of the modular plugs we use today.

Thanks for the correction on the power sources for lighting.  I was going on memory and wasn't sure of when the need for a separate cord was eliminated.  I have never seen a Trimline with a separate power cord but have no doubt that they are out there.

I will try to get pictures with my computer cam.  I took some of my 10/50 500 for Dennis several months ago and they were fairly blurry but I'll see if I can do better.  I can't locate the digital camera that got buried when I moved, and it may take buying a new one to get the old one to resurface.  The thing I noticed about the 4-prong connector is that it's larger and round, with Bell System logo on it, as opposed to the square shaped 4-prong types that were more common.  Maybe this is the difference between a field installation and a 4-prong system that came from the factory.
