They look like standard US sockets as observed by me on various trips
over the pond. Can't be sure, I suppose.


You can find a "spot the plug" guide at

If you can get visibility of the supply cabling you may also be able
to find the voltage rating printed at intervals along its length.

American sockets are quite safe at 220V (or at least as safe as their
construction inherently allows - its easy to get your finger across
the pins while plugging then in/out).
