Ian, no, RS don't do them, though I think they did a long time ago. They were regarded as being rather outdated in the '70s when I first saw them.
Jon, I'm not sure if that's the same type, the pins look similar, but the shell is different, it doesn't seem to have the XLR style latch. However, I'd forgotten the Cannon name, the originator of the XLR. I did a search, and came up with this:
web page
The P series is what I'm looking for. It says that they are still available as the Amphenol EP series. I think the 'still available' may be out of date now, but I've managed to find one male one on Ebay, and a supplier who still has a few female ones in stock. I only need one of each, both 3-pole. These seem to be almost extinct, though the 4,6 and 8 pole ones are still around, but rare.
Thanks for the help.

Thank you Frank. The ones I am looking for are 3-pole, which seem to be the most difficult to find. 4, 6 and 8-pole ones still seem to be available to a limited extent. The minimum which would get this thing working would be one female cable-mount one. the best option, if I can find enough somewhere would be to put them on both ends of old-style cable, and use them in a path panel as well. To do that I would need:
Male, cable-mount x3
There is a picture of them in the 'P-series' section of the web page which I linked to above. Female, cable-mount x4 Male, chassis-mount x2 Female, Chassis-mount x2
This would also allow me to make up adapters so it can be used with XLR cables as well.
In case anybody else has any of these surplus to requirements that they want to sell they look like overgrown XLRs, the shell is about 28mm in diameter and they have three pins in a similar arrangement to XLRs, but the angle between the pins is slightly different. The also have a latch similar to that on an XLR.
The Male one I have is marked:
CANNON GB EP 3 121C
