Hah Right, I remember 5A and 15A being common in my youth, and the porcelain"pepper pots" fuses as we called them, lots of folks electrics now looks like it belongs in an old horror film with Boris etc LOL

2 pin BS372 in 2, 5, 10, 15, including even 30A https://plugsocketmuseum.nl/OldBritish2.html as were 3 pin (30A frequently called Xray plug) now updated to BS546 https://plugsocketmuseum.nl/OldBritish1.html but 10A I think & 30A have been dropped.
EDIT: There has been quite a history of these plugs/sockets, (from memory) I think BS73, BS 327, BS372parts I & II, BS546. essentially dimensions of pins have been consistant throughout.
