I guess I'll never know why there would be two different 30amp male plugs. But for that matter I don't understand why car batteries don't come in a maximum of 3 universal sizes and shapes either. Or why all screws aren't Phillips head.
There are many different unique plugs each designed for a particular circuit. It's unfortunate that the RV industry uses the the pictured Y shaped 30A 120V plug when they could have used an standard plug. Physically it's very close to the 240V dryer plug. There are periodic posts about the 30A RV plug being wired for 240V or someone forcing their RV plug into the dryer plug.
FYI Both the 20A and 50A RV plugs are standard household plugs. The 30A RV plug is unique to RVs that you won't find in a house unless it's been wired for a RV.
