For completeness' sake, the Wylex plugs were round, usually brown top and white underneath; the earth pin was tubular and central, the live & neutral rectangular, spaced either side of centre, and one of them (?) offset to avoid being reversed.
AFAIK there were 5a and 15a versions, and some could be stacked
ad infinitum as there was a corresponding socket on the top.
We saw many of these, and also the D & S ones mentioned.
The universal "Fittall" plugs were quite common in the past - I'm sure I still have one somewhere.
