115V shaver plugs

Why do shaver sockets accommodate round pin plugs in the 115V outlet when countries with 100V to 120V mains supplies use type A plugs with flat pins? Is there a country somewhere with a 100V to 120V mains supply that just so happens to use shavers with round pin plugs?

  • An old shaver socket from the 1970s. The 230V outlet has holes for both BS4573 and type C plugs. The 110V outlet has holes for both type A flat pin and (type C?) round pin plugs.

    Did any countries in Europe have 100V to 120V mains supplies with sockets that accommodated a type C plug back in the 1970s?
