In the US, it's a code violation to fit a three pronged plug on a two cored flex. It might give the user the idea that the item is earthed.
I'm well aware the your earth prong opens the shutters. I see on one of the pictures, that the earth prong is made of some non-conducting material.
The US is starting to use a form of shuttered receptacle called a tamper resistant type. The flat blade plug has to be inserted carefully to open both shutters.
Installed in areas accessible to small children.
