That is a pretty strange "Y".
At the plant where I work, they put in custom grounded
receptacles many years ago, before there was a NEMA standard
for such a thing. The form was a "Y". Then, when grounded
plugs became common on tools , they had to come up with NEMA
to Y adapters, so things could be plugged into their
receptacles. If you poke around in little used rooms, there
are still a few of those old "crow's foot" receptacles. I
still have an adapter to go from NEMA plug to a "Y", but not
one to go the other way round.
