Having got it that far the socket contacts are just a sliding fit in the Bakelite moulding, so you can simply push them out from the front. (I have an unused socket somewhere, just in case I ever stumble across a WS52!)

If you unwrap the whipping on the red lead you can probably get a good idea of the original colour, since it will not have been exposed to light and air since the cable was assembled.

Best regards,
Chris.
