I knew I read somewhere that Sam would know...

From a 07/09/10 post "On some sets (2564 series) there was only a 16 pair cable (if I remember correctly) and the violets, all the A1s but the first one and some other leads"

Bk/BL pr - 4A/A1
Bk/O pr - 4 LG/L

BK/Gn pr - 5 T/R
Bk/ Bn pr - 5 A/A1
Bk/SL pr - 5 LG/L

Y/BL or Y/O pr - usually assigned to the buzzer for Intercoms

Y/Gn pr - Often assigned as a Lamp for the Hold button (Misc. features)

Y/SL pr - always assigned for the Ringer wired for the "Common Bell"

The Violet group was usually set aside for speakerphone leads. On some sets (2564 series) there was only a 16 pair cable (if I remember correctly) and the violets, all the A1s but the first one and some other leads (Some LGs maybe?) were missing completely.

And no, without a KSU you would need a separate ringer for each line.

Also the correct term is a "Key Telephone" or a "Key Set" a KTU is actually a "Key Telephone Unit" - which is a circuit board that plugs into a KSU (Key Service Unit) - the things that make key telephones work.
