Tnx Scott and others for the info. Your system is more complicated because of the 117 v and 230v dual supply required.
In the UK there is more conformity to wiring and the plugs are non reversible into the socket, whereas your 2 blade plug goes in either way round and no Earth.  

In EU their 2 pin plug is also reversible but does have an earth.

Plugs and sockets seem to vary from member state to member state.

Both 2 pin and 2 pin+earth plugs are available in France.  Two pin sockets are no longer allowed for new installations but both types of plug will go into a 2 pin+earth socket.  The 2 pin plug is reversible but the 2 pin+earth is not.
