I don't see anything 'weird' at all, there's rarely any need for polarisation in mains leads, all UK mains plugs are polarised, earthed, fused, and MANY of them are on the end of leads that aren't polarised, often the same figure 8 lead as in the picture.
Normally, a non-polarized socket has a non-polarized plug, at least in the US. It doesn't hurt anything to have a polarized plug and a non-polarized socket. It's just inconvenient. You know how lazy us Americans (and Canadians for that matter) are.
