OEM Datasheet attached shows the same. Two of the pins are internally shorted together.

The label in your second photo that says "NC" (which means "not connected) is incorrect, because it's actually another connection to "Pole". You can leave it hanging - but remember it will be connected to the bulb in your circuit, or you can connect it to "pole", or you can use it instead of "pole" if it makes the wiring easier.

Yes, the coil connections, A and B are where you connect the 12V - they can be either way round with regards to + and -.
 
how about this:
A1, A2 = Coil Connections
COM = "Common or "working contact"
NO = Normally Open
NC = Normally Closed

Good point - I never thought of that. But the O/P's relay only has 5 connections - the "form A" style. Photo's have disappeared though.
 
the link i posted shows version with form-A contact as well. it is the same as in post 6 but with no NC
