Mike, I don’t have an answer for your first question regarding a source for the connectors. 

As for your assumption, when you see a connector on a short piece of cable, that’s likely due to the rest of the cable was cut into 12-18” sections with a saws all. In today’s wireless world, folks don’t remove runs of cable intact. The wireless companies won’t reuse a cable, and old cable is usually headed to the scrap metal dealer versus letting it down gently and spooling it up. It pains me every time I see it happening. 

tnx

Often at hamfest I will see them still attached to the heliax of about 12 inches length where they have been cut off the ends of a heliax run.  I assume the did this to use the newer type DIN connector.
