C is no ground and H does have But what I've been seeing these days is C style pins, but with a ground

The M used in Israel might be different than the one pictured as it is used exclusively for 3 phase lines (so an AC that doesn't need 3 phase can then have a regular plug)

Our C is both ground and no ground. We have two prong and three prong type C, much like NA has two and three prong. Currently, the electricians I've spoken to say that we do indeed use an "M" (notice the quotes) because it's an Israeli M. Frankly.. it's quite silly.
