Ignore that. In the CPC hard copy plugs are described as 2P + earth,
240V. The on line catalogue describes them as 3P. Duh!

Do you actually have 415/440 in use?
If so, and it's all in the privacy of your own workshop, you could
perhaps use 4-pin red connectors for one and 5-pin red for the other,
maybe with appropriate labels/coloured tape if you don't want the
hassle of finding the proper gear.
