What is the one with the 2 round holes

Screw holes for fixing the socket to a patress.

My bad.
I looked around and I was thinking about the CEE/7 that is used on the
other side of the channel. I just knew we used to get a cord like that
with equipment here now and then, in addition to the US cord set. I
thought it was UK but I guess it was continental Europe.
When I cut off the plug, I also saw it was the european color code on
the wire (Blue, brown and green/yellow).

Where I used to work, the contractors confused the old UK wiring colours with then new EU wiring colours, and connected phase 1 and phase 2 to a 240V outlet circuit. A bunch of 40 computers expecting 240V got a lot more than that. Big insurance claim, small repair bill, net profit :-)
