I do not have docs for anything prior to 1964, but I have a question
that might help shed some light. Are the jacks on your modules color
coded? Some of the very old DEC stuff I have use color to indicate
which voltage goes to which power pin.

According to the legend on the DEC PSU (c. 1966), the color scheme _I_ am
familiar with looks like this...

  Red +10VDC fixed
  Black Ground
  Blue -15VDC fixed
  Green -15VDC variable
  Orange +10VDC variable

I don't know if yours resembles this, but it's a place to start.
