[time-nuts] Question about Russian PC-Series Circular Military Connectors

[Brucekareen at aol.com]

I would like to take advantage of this group's worldwide constituency and  
ask a slightly off-topic question about the contact numbering scheme for 
Russian  PC-series circular connectors.  I am trying to trace out the wiring  
of a Russian manufactured radiometer with these connectors.   Surprisingly, 
there are no pin letters or numbers found on any of the connector  parts or 
on new mating connectors I purchased on eBay.  
 
Searching the Internet I have found manufacturers in India and China  
offering knockoffs of these connectors.  They have pin location drawings on  
their web sites, but fail to identify whether these diagrams apply to the male  
or female connector and whether to the wiring or interconnect side.   
Drawings show that the connector pins are numbered in rows from left to right,  
starting at the top.  I have sent inquiries to these manufactures, but have  
only been asked how many I want to buy and how many pins.  
 
Can anyone help me identify the numbering convention for these  connectors? 
 They are well made and similar to Cannon military  types.
