The original context was set in the PAST when mains leads used with
BRITISH made guitar amps often looked like the one in this link.

Either ends can be wired wrongly, the Bulgin end being the more likely.

Since I started this topic you've taken over with your usual insults -
while failing to help in any way with the original question - I'd point
out that the 405 is fitted with an IEC mains inlet. And pretty well all
IEC leads come with that connector moulded on. The small mains Bulgin used
on the 303 and 33 is a solder connector - so unlikely to be mis-wired
other than by a total idiot. (It may be that small Bulgin was also used in
early versions of the 405)

You'd have to go back two generations of Quad to the valve amps to find
that particular Bulgin connector in use.
