Those are single spades with rubber boots.

Hi Alfred,
I know it as 2 single fully insulated receptacles (voll isolierte Flachstecker) too, in black with round end to fit in the horn.

Shvegel, it is not a rubber boot but hard plastic.

Wolfgang, actually it is one piece with two separate feed-through poles.

Fortunately I found one in white and it is on order.

Where'd you get it?

Hi Wolfgang, no, never on a W113 car. I believe these horns were made around 1990-2000 and few came with the 290Hz/345Hz combination, most were 325Hz/400Hz.
I found this (290Hz/345Hz) horn pair at a swap meet and thought I could just exchange the connector for the ring-type connector. Well, as you can see that does not work.
They show up occasionally on eBay.

Alfred,
I see now.  I thought you were looking for the terminals that plug into your horn not to replace the cracked one you had.
