If you can email me photographs, I'll compare them to
what's in my 8443A.
But it doesn't really matter. The only important one
for your present purpose is A6W1, the one from the RF amp to
the counter's INT input. All you have to do is scope
it long enough to verify that there's RF there; this
can be accomplished without an adaptor.

I did call them GOOFY because that is what they are. They
are goofy because
I think the only place in the whole world they were used was
the jacks and
plugs for the cables of the connections between modules of
the 8443A. They
are not SMA, SMB, or SMC. I have looked at drawing of each
of these types
are the are not same as what HP used. I have no idea what
they are or
where to obtain them. I would certainly appreciate it if anyone could
identify them along with a source of supply. As far as I am
concerned their
official description is "unobtainiun".

I didn't call them goofy, David Hallam (the OP) did.
You and I are referring to what's more commonly called
"Hybrid-D" connectors. (From context,
I judge that David Hallam is thinking of the SMB (SMC?)
plugs on the inter-assembly cables inside the instrument.
The hybrid-D of interest in this thread actually has no
standard D contacts at all, it's all coaxes. Which by the
way are called "Size 8". Not to inundate you with 8's,
but the connector pin layout is called "8W8", which
predictably means 8 contacts 8 of which are coax.

Dave Wise
