There are two other variations of the 13 pin plug, they are not used in most other European countries, I believe they are used in Holland but I am unable to confirm this.

Firstly, we have the Euro Plug as we know it.

Secondly, there is the; Multicon (Feder), version.

Thirdly, there is the; Multicon WeST, version.

These other two variations are not an international standard like our euro plug. However, there is in my opinion something fantastic about these other two variations; The caravan auxiliary power supplies and returns are around the outer parimeter of the plugs and the basic seven pin road lighting etc, are within the center circle of the plugs, this has been done to make both 13 pin sockets accept either the 13 pin plug or the origional 12n plug within its center circle, in other words, they are dual, they except both plugs without an adapter,  but not of course the 12s plug.
