We have had a few residential, (high end) that have 30 amp, and 50 amp 240 volt receptacles in the kitchens or adjacent 'butler pantry. Rice cookers, and oh yes, the 'tea kettle' (mini boiler).

Design pro, and ECs installed GFI breakers; no argument from me.

We always see the plumbers screwing up our installation so this made me chuckle.

It does prompt a few questions as an inspector.
Are those 2 LBs accessible?
I assume the top screws are missing 110.3.B

What is in that pipe and will that flange leak?
Is this a wet location?
Is that a fire rated wall?

They must have done that for the house they are building up the road from me because they suddenly nailed up railings on the stairs and the wrap around deck. It is 14 feet to the dirt below. Roofers still work un-feathered and that roof is more like 22-23' above ground level at the eaves.

That is also called candelabra or miniature. Amazon may have what you need

amazon

They also have the bulbs, I am guessing 12v.
Like a lot of things you can buy a couple dozen for the price of 2. You are paying for the package.
Now that you know what you are looking for Home Depot may have them.
