--- Quote ---- it's 13 amps not 15. The previous 15 amp plugs of the 1950's -early 1960's era were 15 amp unfused at the plug
--- End quote ---

And if I remember rightly, the pins of the 15Amp plug were of round cross-section.

you can still buy the round pin plugs and sockets !

 my part of the UK had  a version of 15A round pin plug with  screw in fuse forming the live pin ! I believe they were made in Mancherster
