Topic: Paging Electricians - IEC Plug question

What is the name of the plug that is commonly used in data centers as a replacement for the IEC 309 16A and 32A plugs?

Whenever we get kit that needs to be connected to a 16A or 32A circuit in data centres the sparkys come out and change the plugs. I am trying to find out what those plugs are called.

This is an image i lifted out of a clipsal catalog but I am unsure how to relate what clipsal call them to their industry names.
