It is the same for household electricity too. Even here in Europe where we're all running 220 / 230 Volts single phase French plugs look like Dutch ones but are not (really) compatible, English ones are super safe with in built fuses (from what I've seen of French and Dutch home electrics they could all use those!) and the Germans are again slightly different from the French and the Dutch... I can't remember what other countries are like but I guess they too have their own little patriotic wall mounted idiosyncrasies

But one of the beauties of the older Benzes is that the plugs are able to be disassembled and re-used. If you're swapping from DOT to euro lights, you could disassemble the 4 (I think) pin plug and reinstall the standard pins into a 6 pin plug (you may need to jumper a wire - or delve into the other DOT 4 pin plug). Since the plug housings are more/less standard you might be able to re-purpose an old power antenna plug into a new euro light plug.
