Another possibility is a pattress box such as (link): https://www.toolstation.com/wessex-pattress-box/pAB255 and then use whatever double socket you like. However you need to be very careful about the current cables. Which is the supply and which is the load? The white cable is wrong, you...

I imagine quite possibly a Ferranti Atlas.

Thanks for correcting me (every day's a school day).

I'm only thinking out loud here. There's a brass (?) screw which is partially hidden, would loosening that allow some adjustment? Other than that, work out how to move the complete (6" long?) black strip.

If I've understood you correctly, you'll probably have 2 cables coming out of the JB, one goes to the repositioned (roughly) central light which then daisy chains to an extra one and the second cable goes in the opposite direction to the final fitting. In the interests of being condescending...

Do you have some sort of adaptor so you can plug AAA batteries into AA slots?

I believe it's really a Pie chart (e.g. apple pie).

To this diyer, that sounds like balancing is needed.

No, both switches (1 on first floor, 1 on third) have to be (what's known as) 2-way switches. Has this ever worked as you want it to, or is this an enhancement?

I suppose they might have been frightened of blowing the fuse with so many sockets on the load.

If you google (other search engines are available) "retractive pull cord switch" you should find some.
