Try ID'ing this accesory removed  from

    low current fused pin plugs have a long history, being prewar as  well as the alternative 13A plugs  that never caught on despite the distressing tendency to snap off in the socket and leave a live end protruding.


    Allowed 5A lights to plug into 15A sockets and similar. Rather pointless as un-fused plugs were always available that fit the same sockets.
