Bernd,

That is a real oddball connector. I encountered one inside a surplus 
trunk-mount Motorola car telephone made in the 1970s.

The only submini bayonet connectors I find mentioned with Google are 
the Kings KM which is like the BSM which Tektronix used, and Google 
gives a photograph. It has two bayonet pins.

Unfortunately, if no one makes it anymore, data will be hard to find, 
much less the actual connectors.
