But isn't that a 240VAC plug?

Yes it's a 240VAC plug, and the missing 2-15R would be a 240VAC
receptacle.

what purpose would it serve to have it
fit in a 120V (well, at the time likely 110, and it was 220V plug)
receptacle?

I don't know the purpose. I thought there may be some explanation for
the oddity in the NEMA charts, and it might fit.
