We have a 13A double switched socket in a tiled location. I don't know how
old it is but it's an old-fashioned type with four fixing screws, two at the
top and two at the bottom, as opposed to the modern ones of one at each
side.


Would it be possible to drill corresponding mounting holes in a new
socket?

Or buy a 'new' old one on fleabay?

I think they gave up making that sort about forty years ago. I
haven't seen one in donkeys years.
