I have seen a few of the rubberised ones shown in figure 4

But likewise have never seen the new style safety plug with screw terminals - wish they had made them as that would be much better in my opinion!

I wasn't aware MK made both the modern shethed style and the older shape at the same time.

I wonder when they stopped making the traditional shape then as shown in figure 1?

The only indication I ever got was that some of the Ivory/Bakelite ones had "Red,Black & Green" embossed inside by the relevant pins so presumably pre 1969, but some examples of the same shape and style did not have these colours embossed. Wonder how long that shape carried on.

I don't suppose I could get a high res scan of that MK catalogue perchance?
