On the paster diagram, terminal T1 is the 'earthy' end of the bell and the ringing wire should go to T2, yes?

If you look at drawings for a 300 and 700 series instruments, the 'earthy' end of the bell is in the cradle-switch / ASTIC / mic side and not in the LD pulse contact side. Have you tried swapping over A & B (ie: pins 2 and 5 on the plug) and leaving the ringing wire as-is?
