The top pair is the AC input. Use clip leads and see if it works. Apply 120 VAC to those pins.

You can often build your own with a razor blade from something

I made my own power cord using crimp splicers, AKA as barrel connectors. I think the blue ones will work. Available at auto supply stores. Made for #14 to 16AWG. If it's a loose fit, pinch it a bit. The reds, I think are too small.
I would try it before trying to locate the proper cord. Like I stated before, I looks like someone was experimenting with.

Okay but how do you figure out which pin matches to which wire of a power cord?

Not important. If its wrong the set will work but the chassis will be "hot".
Its a good idea to test it before order an OEM cord for $$. That red marker
makes me nervious
