According to a table of world electricity supply voltages in the 1956 edition of the ITT Reference Data for Radio Engineers, Gibraltar then had both 50Hz and 76Hz mains frequencies. Later editions only mentioned 50Hz.

Just looked at the MK website (who I believe to be a reputable supplier of electrical bits) and they list 2A, 5A and 15A round pin plugs with no mention of sleeved pins and the pictures show unsleeved pins.

Of course they might have been modified since the pictures were taken
