Large 1ph appliances

Hello.
I've recently taken notice of an appliance supplier who is fitting machines into workplaces by means of modified flex and 3pin plugs. These machines don't seem to have a proper name plate and thus I doubt a legitimate DOC either. Though they look generally well built they are clearly imported and probably a European design.
The connection is via removable Flex extension. The socket to the machine is IEC C16/19 square jug style, flex is 1.5x3c, and has been fitted with 3pin 10a AUS/NZ plug.
Either the machines have come with a different flex, probably a 15A Euro plug, or no flex/plug at all fitted.
Think, "15A Welder with Earth pin shaved down".
Machines have been inhouse, tested and tagged by some technician and as said, don't have a notable name plate serial number or identification.
Thoughts?
