I have no personal experience of them - all my home-made leads were made with Fischer connectors rather than clones, as at the time I don't believe you could get Chinesium copies. I think they have PEEK insulation as does the Fischer version. I don't think Solartron specified a PTFE special version.
No-one on the Solartron-Schlumberger group has indicated any issues with them.

You have a 7.5 digit multimeter and if you use wrong connectors and cables it can make that 7th digit useless. If the 7th digit is useless does it make sense to buy your 750 GBP + shipping + taxes or I can buy for the same amount 3 pieces 34401A or Keithley 2000. Prices for those 6.5 digit multimeters are around 300-350 EUR now. There is a reason why Solartron used that connector, they could have also fit 4mm banana posts but they didn't... My 2 cents...
