"have several runs of 7/8" Andrew Heliax of about 350 feet.  The Heliax
was purchased new several years ago and is labeled, "Andrew Heliax <R> AVAS
- 50."  At the time of purchase I was told the old standard LDF5-50A was no"


It's actually AVA5-50. 5 being 7/8" nominal size. And yes, the connectors 
are different.

And yes, LDF5-50 is no longer made. The AVA5-50 is quite a bit more delicate 
(thinner copper and softer dielectric) and crushes and dents much easier 
than LDF5-50.
