The base looks very much like the old three pin (round) plugs (or lighting circuit plugs) except the Live and Neutral are transposed.

Other than the pheon, are there any other marks on it?

Hi Tim. No unfortunately there are no makers marks on the mechanism other than the War Office crows foot , from memory when it was identified it was from a British mine , I’ve looked through my manuals but nothing shows.
