VEX and Backup Battery Connector Specs

Does anyone know the ORIGINAL vendors and part number for BOTH sides of BOTH the VEX 7.2V battery,
AND the old style 7.2V IFI RC backup battery?
(eg: the part numbers from Molex, AMP, or wherever they came from...)

I'm seeking
(a) the original Manufacturer (Vendor - eg Molex, AMP, etc.)
(b) their HOUSING part number, and
(c) their PIN part number

for the following connectors:

(1) The VEX Battery connector (battery side - inline/cable style)
(2) The VEX Battery connector MATE (inline/cable style, to tie a wire to a VEX batt...)
(3) The VEX Battery PCB Connector MATE (PCB version, like on VEX chargers)

and

(4) The 7.2v IFI Backup Battery connector (battery side - inline/cable style)
(5) The 7.2v IFI Backup Battery connector MATE (inline/cable side, ala IFI RC harness)
(6) The 7.2v IFI Backup Battery connector MATE (PCB version, to MAKE a new charger PCB)

Can any of the Radio Control Car nuts or EE mentors here recognize these connectors, and help me come up with the full part number sets? (Any partial knowledge, of ANY of these connectors would help advance this valuable table of data.)

( Simply knowing the Digikey part numbers for each of them also works for me... )

Thanks!
- Keith
