I assume the mini xlr pin assignment is the same as normal xlrs, right?
1 (ground)
2 (+)
3 (-)

Thank you sir!

I'm not so sure about this.
I *think* it is;
pin 1: ground
pin 2: audio
pin 3: battery
Note that pins on the minXLR go *in order* 1, 2, 3 around the connector, while regular XLR goes 1, 3, 2.
If in doubt, unscrew the miniXLR and look inside. On AT853 you'll see red = battery = pin 3, yellow = audio = pin 2, shield = ground = pin 1.
A small number of AT gear has yellow replaced by white.

That is correct.

Thank you all!

I'm about 90% sure I have two sets of mini-XLR wired AT933s (853) that are wired differently, and which work best when connected to the piece of kit they were modified for.
Set 1 were originally wired to work with Jon's PP9 battery box:

but Chris had to rewire them to work with his CA-9100 preamp.
Set 2 is wired to work with a custom battery box, which was built by a board member here.
Swapping mics around usually produces sub-standard recordings, but used with whatever they were modded for, they work great.
