  ever seeing a
power cord with oval prongs.

 It looks like I may have been looking at the wrong thing. I thought
he was looking for the older type of HP instrument cord. I don't
know of anything that has oval prongs. I thought he meant oval
housing.
 SVT is the power cord style, not the material. 
 I'd like to modify that. I found a specific page that defines
it as 18 guage stranded (S) vacuum cleaner (V) cord with plastic
outsides (T). I see on closer looks, they are refering to the
cable used. The only mention of the connector type is in
one place, they call it a PH-163 which I think is a NEMA number.

An interesting side note about the Belden cords that I found
in a web search:

"
The Eberline Instruments using the non-standard AC cord are listed on
page two of this bulletin. Belden power cord model #17280 has standard
polarity per UL 817 and CSA 895B and should NOT be used on the Eberline
instruments listed.  Belden model #17952 has polarity, neutral and lines
reversed and is the only cord to be used on the Eberline Instruments
listed.  The non-standard cords come from the manufacturer with a paper
label stating that they have reversed polarity but the labels are
susceptible to damage and are easily lost.
