What is the name of the rounded, 3-pin power connector

I have an S-100 chassis that inexplicably uses one,
despite dating from 1982 or so.
Is it a Cromemco? Inexplicable is right. The Cromemco Z2 S100 chassis from 1978 used them,
I don't know what they were thinking using it that late, unless they got a deal on a
mass clearout.
============
Are you sure it was a Cromemco Z2? If so, it must have been a really old one; I've
seen quite a few Z2s in my time and they all had/have modern IEC type line cord
connectors.
