Keeping Connectors when swapping out old Onboard Decoders

I'm curious how people handle swapping out old onboard decoders. I've got 3 locos due on the workbench which came with the onboard decoders

I'm swapping out my preferred decoders to kit them with sound and powerbuffers.

My question is around the existing connectors. Right now, most of the accessories use Mini-CT cables (below) to plug into the board. The easy way to do this is to chop these off and write straight into the new decoder. I'm somewhat loath to do this should I ever want to restore the loco. My current plan is to build a small interface PCB with Mini-CT (female) connectors I have to hand and wire this into the new decoder - keeping the removed one in storage.

It got me thinking about how others have approached this so thought I'd ask here.

Bonus question to the group - Does anyone know the component name for the fatter 4min plugs LGB uses (either from the track/motor or from the cab switches). Struggled to identify the name to buy some female components.
