Continental plugs with 2 round pins are also done like this. I believe  it
may be a European directive thing, as earlier versions of Continental  and UK
plugs don't have the protection  sleeving.




I think that is correct, when I was in Italy the first time in 1985  the
plugs had completely bare pins on them and there were only two pins per plug  and
they were the same size as well.  However since then, I have noticed  they
have changed the plug/pin design.
