They came as above with six terminal pairs, five, four, three or two. Originals were made out of Bakelite.

Your photo looks like a standard "barrier terminal strip". Should be readily available from any decent electronics supplier (but not Radio Shack) in a variety of lengths and widths. Try Mouser

Thanks gentlemen. I had no clue they were called barrier terminal blocks. Sure helps when you use the right search term!
