Mmm...Isn't it just possible (like so many other parts of our LBC's) there
simply was no "standard" that these differential plugs were made too? I mean,

Abington "village smithy" handed it down to the next generation, the size of
the opening might just have changed slightly...(another wink and a nudge...).
