      I mean, it’s also a Euro plug with US pins. I’ve never seen that mashup before. 🤷‍♀️

          There is the occasional round one out there, but they wouldn’t have “the France hole”.

      The holes allow the socket to grip the plug more firmly according to this page.

      But, yes. These plugs are completely normal in Japan at least.
