They're all marked by number 50s and 60s if I remember right . Just a tip . Scrape the ends of the metal prongs gently with a knife or small screwdriver to clean the tip . I usually use one small screwdriver to gently bend it out slightly and another to clean it . They lose their "springyness" over time . Anyway . hopefully you'll get it sorted .

Yes good tip, all done, cleaned and contact oiled etc now working a treat, nice and smooth operation, just replaced the one green segment with the broken prong..
Radios, radio!!
