Could be a DIN socket, see http://www.polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/Din_Connectors.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have one like this in our van. Its a 'hella' type socket and I have the adapters too that you can wire appliances into. I dont use it. I just fitted another standard 12v socket in the van. (cigarrette type)

I have a standard 12v plug in my spares box that has the red adaptor on the end which if you remove it turns it into a 'hella' plug that you can use in the 'hella' socket

If this makes sense :?

It's a DIN and easy to obtain the plug. IMO, better than many of the standard Ciggy plug/sockets for anything that draws large currents and the plug doesn't fall out so easily.
