I doubt there is/was any connection between Duraplug and with The London Rubber Company?

My researches (made long before this thread was posted):

W W Haffenden Ltd, Richborough Rubber Works, Ramsgate Road, Sandwich, Kent (in 1964). Original maker of “Duraplug” shock resistant plugtops, trailing sockets, etc.
By 1982, Haffenden Richborough Ltd.
Later, part of Caradon MK Electric Ltd. See also MK Electric Ltd (now part of the USA Honeywell company).

I do have a very old Duraplug with Haffenden embossed on it.
