Once we quoted the price for us to aquire the parts and have the cables made, they decided to get them locally.
That's what we figured would happen.
My thanks to everyone who answered my questions and have a safe holiday season.

I wish they had those types of connectors in USA... Those seem more durable than the regular straight blade plug and connector we use here.
~Matt Check a Hubbell catalog for Pin & Sleeve connectors. $$$ Yeah, Wasnt looking for 'hubbell price' though!  ~Matt
I would rather beg for forgiveness then beg for permission.

They are excellent connectors, though the higher current ranges get a bit bulky. Used to use five pin green ones for 400Hz, and made the interesting discovery that different manufacturers used different latching arrangements. i.e the pin configurations always matched but they wouldn't always lock together. Apparently the outer case arrangements were outside the scope of the specs', which only covered pins and colours. That is 10 years or more, so hopefully they may have been updated.

"BS4343 connectors here are cheap in the small, commonly used versions, such as 2P+E 16A 110V yellow (building site power tools) and 2P+E 16A 240V blue (mobile home/trailer hookups). Plugs in those sizes/configurations are typically only about £2 ($4) each."
I wish they were that cheap over here in the US.
The best I have found is about $30 ea. for 16A 2P&E

16A,32A, are not standard rating for the US,that may be a good subject if it would be allowed here, for another thread.

The cheap, er, inexpensive (I have no experience with these, so as for quality I don't know) ones that I refer to are are actually international dual rated. ie 16A international is 20A for US, 32A/30A. 63A/60A 125A/100A respectively. http://www.interpower.com/ic/p33list.asp
