There are two links to the drawing, one for the pin, one for the socket. You can measure the pins you have and see if they match up.

Plan B could be to just solder them onto the cables. (Not to open the annual solder vs crimp discussion ).

I'm assuming they are some kind of surplus at a pretty low rate to make it worth the effort to adapt them. On the other hand FRC is about adapting little kid toy car motors to amazing throwing arms, so this fits in pretty well.
Pins are much smaller, in the order of <= 1mm. They're definetly not a suprlus item, they were a newly stocked with a big "New for 2015" sticker.
