I'm not so sure. I've think the PSU is plugged into a single black extension 
socket with the lead just going into electron at the right. As Anal as it is 
I've run the image through some imaging software to enhance the dark areas 
and although not conclusive it does show something there that matches the 
shape and size of a single socket on a lead. Just that area of the picutre 
is so dark you can't see it. Could be wrong though.

Steve.
