Default varying arrangment of screws/holes out mains socket

Hi all
I want to replace a double non-switched mains socket with a
switched one. The existing cables are cut pretty tight and so I want to buy
a plate with the same arrangement 'pattern' of Line, Neutral and Earth
screws/holes. In the past I've been caught out when trying to replace one
with (say) earth to the left, with one with earth to the right - or
whatever.

Are there any diagrams of different makes of outlets with their respective
connection arrangements? Or do I have to wade through all the different
makes available to find the most compatible one?

Thanks
Jon N
