Oooh they are pricey but it appears that Lang's has 2 versions of Double Contact right angle plugs
Item Number: 6592-15
Headlight plug with thimble, right angle, double contact. This is an exact reproduction of the hard to find headlight plug. It is for use with a headlight socket that has the tab for the adjusting screw located in the 12 O’clock position when mounted to the headlight bucket.
Item Number: 6592-15XB Your picture looks like theirs for this version based on the pin
Headlight plug with thimble, right angle, double contact. Exact reproduction. Used with a socket that has the tab for the adjusting screw located in the 9 o’clock position when mounted to the headlight buckett. For use when using later headlight buckets made from 1918-25 on your 1915 Model T.

Make sure the contacts are going the correct direction. The 1915 should have the contacts vertical with the focus screw on top of the socket.

If you knew how much work is involved in making those, you wouldn't complain about the price!
