That's where I think your Bayonet lampholder is superior to the E/S.
As I understand, there is no contact to the mains until the lamp is installed.
The last 25 or 30 years, all the lamps and many other appliances sold in the US are equipped with polarized plugs, the neutral blade wider.
That's all depending on the receptacle is wired properly.
