Before the 13 Amp "Square Pin" Plug.

Zoomup
I don't know why the pins were called "square" as they were more rectangular in the 13 Amp plug.


Anyway, before the 13 Amp plug was adopted, there was a new plug about the size of a 2 Amp 3 pin plug with round pins. It was fused. The fuses available for it were 2, 5, 10 and 13 Amps. The plug was rated at 13 Amps. 230 Volts but could cope with up to 15 Amps. 


Who can name the manufacturer of this new fused round pin plug?

    Looks like that example  too has a detached pin stuck in the socket instead of remaining in the plug.

    You can see why they discontinued them.
