    Ironically, those are upside down.

    Which usually indicates Chinese Type I - they don’t insulate pins but do put earth on top.

    We insulate pins but live/neutral is on top.

      Oof, I see.
      Kinda a bad look for type I when some of the users follow a different spec and ruin all attempts at improving safety or even keeping standards like earth being down.

      In comparison the european plugs are moving closer together, for example F+E combo plugs are increasingly common.
