I say again: "They seem to be IDC" - I believe they *are* solderless, cramp-on!  (Or perhaps "punch-down" :-)  

But you'll need 0.1" spaced cable - the type that's used in domestic electronic devices, which are like a 0.05" ribbon cable with every other position 
being just a plastic web with no copper in it.
