I found this-

On your setup-

A ¼ inch stereo jack plug is used for the microphone, slightly unusually the tip is the ptt connection and the ring is the mic live. The sleeve is of course earth.

I don't know if this helps.

Far as I know, the original FT-101 (NO suffix letters) was it. Their tube-type transceivers of that era all used the 1/4-in. plug, including the FT-200, sold in the USA as the "Tempo 1".

My FT-101 (no suffix) has the 4-pin, but that just makes it a late version of the original model. Yours is just earlier.

There might or might not be more serial-number type info to be had from Fox Tango International. They do have a wealth of info on Yaesu's early products there.
