Yep - that's the one (though sometimes the cable is only rated at 16A, not
20A). For a picture, check out the following two links:

They're usually about 6USD each, but my supplier (RS components
http://www.rswww.co.nz) just ran out of stock. I think they're manufactured
by Sherta(?). You can also buy these from Farnell (but they don't have an
office in NZ). 

If anyone else wants one in future - the RS part number is 3119337 - "High
power 16A IEC sockets with unterminated leads, ideal for extra power
requirements fused at 16A, rated at 250VAC. Available in 2m lengths.
Standards BS 4491: 1989, IEC 320 std C19, EN320 std 19".
