That looks like a NEMA “L5-30", 30A, 125V, 3W/2P, “Twist-Lok” device.
'W' identifies the “Smaller Curved” [grounded] White Neutral conductor
"G" identifies the “Bent” [L] Green Grounding conductor.
"X” [“Y, Z"] signifies the “Larger Curved” Black "Hot" line conductor[s].

Re: Marinco 16A socket pin layout.

The wider blade is neutral (white) and the narrower is hot (black). The hooked one is ground (green). It's the same with a 15 amp 2 wire polarized plug, the wider blade is neutral.
