I think the 250 v 15 amp plugs fit in the 20 amp sockets, but the 20s don't
fit in the 30 sockets.

This sort of thing is usually an adapter, a little cylinder with a L6-20R
on one end and a L6-30P on the other, since the loads are safe.  Either
that, or a short jumper cable wired the same way.

They're different.  You can't force them.

I have a situation where a 208v/20A PDU (L6-20P) is supposedly hooked to

208v/30A circuit (L6-30R).   Before I order the correct PDU's and whip
cords...sanity check...are connectors 'similar' enough that this is
possible
(with force) or am I going to find we've actually got L6-20R's on the
provider side?
