I have some Chabin TLC cables that have been cut from the 
paddle boards.  I also have 4 of the SLT-style connectors 
sawed off of the some paddle boards.  Those are quite 
dirty.  I don't know if any of this is of any use to you.  
But, the contacts inside the connectors might be helpful in 
reverse-engineering them.
