Am I right that this a a stereo jack with the mono signal on ring?

If so, why would anyone wire up a jack this way? A mono plug would
short the signal to ground.

That's the way the Mic input for PC Sound Adapters is wired. The microphone for PC's has a STEREO
plug with the signal on the RING only. I found out the hard way that a microphone with a MONO plug
will short out the MIC input.

TenTec probably wired it that way so that a PC microphone would work.
