and those which fit the grey connectors
(http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/765c01), but I've been unable to confirm this
from my own parts.

I checked my motors again, only one per type (I didn't want to dismantle all my
locomotives that use the motors). Here are my measurement results:

x570c01 (blue):
Outer plug diameter: 5 mm
Inner plug diameter: 2.1 mm
Plug height: 2.1 mm (normal stud height: 1.7 mm)

x564c01 (blue):
Outer plug diameter: 5 mm
Inner plug diameter: 2.2 mm
Plug height: 2.3 mm

x564c01 (black):
Outer plug diameter: 5 mm
Inner plug diameter: 2.2 mm
Plug height: 2.2 mm

x581c01 (black):
Inner plug diameter: 2.3 mm

The plugstuds are a bit higher than normal studs.
One difference in shape is the top of the plughole.

x579c01 (blue):
all plugholes like the top picture.

x564c01 (blue):
plugsholes on top of the case like the bottom picture
plugsholes on the left and right of the case like the top picture

x564c01 (black):
plugsholes on top of the case like the bottom picture
plugsholes on the left and right of the case like the bottom picture

I think the plugholes as on the bottom picture make it easier for
double plugs to insert. The inclines will guide the plugs inside
the plughole.
