I'm working on painting up my EV-9D9 head from zorg at the moment and going through the Blu Ray of ROTJ I was wondering if anyone has identified the components at the back of EV's head, just behind the lower jaw?

They remind me of the 3PDT relays used on the Ghostbusters Ghost Trap pedal:

Though they appear to maybe only have 1 pin instead of 11? Anyone got any ideas what they are?

These "relays" are missing on the EV-9D9 prop in all of the exhibitions, so that's not gonna help....

Used to see relays like that that had slotting shapes rather than pins when I was college. Sorry, no idea where or what they were in, but seemed pretty commonplace, so you should be okay with a hunt.
Good luck!

Reminds me of old car relays.

I googled blade slot plug relay and saw a few that were in the right direction. I doubt there are any with only ONE, but there are ones with only 3 or 2...

Yeah, even before anything started to get organised for exhibitions they were missing:
