The one I have has three electric contact holes in the end. The 3D image for
73112 does not show any electric contact holes, but I do not trust the 3D images.
Does 73112 have electric contacts?

don't! It is a manual control so no contact hole.
There are two variations of

not yet recognized.In the first variation, the middle contact hole is not deep
enough. If you have a connector with middle pin, if it fits it, it is the later
variation. You may add this in the description as some buyers care about this.
See my photo attached:
Left remote control in the photo: early release (1980) applicable with connectors
without middle pin
Right remote control: later release (1981-94) applicable with connectors with
or without middle pin
