Hah!  I've found three (3) mutually incompatible sorts of 8-pin DIN geometries:
that of the Commodore video port and Tandy 600 phone port, that of the Tandy
100 cassette port, and that of some plug that fits neither of the above.
All have pins 1 through 5 in the standard 180-degree 5-pin DIN pattern, and
differ in the positioning of pins 6 through 8.  In particular RS 274-026
doesn't fit my purpose.  But I've found two pieces of the plug that does.
