These are the Bosch 09180 wires.  Originally for 83.5-84 Wassers, they
modified the connectors at the distributor end to work with both the
03010 (non pin) and 03212 (as well as the 03214) distributor caps.

Airhead sells 'em:

The advantage of the pin-only style wires is there are resistor
supressors on the connectors to the distributor cap as well as at the
spark plug ends (Bosch 09272 wire set or 200 998 031 D wire set).
