Actually this jumper is valid either way around as long as it is made from
cable rated for at least 16A (2.5mm TRS say) a 16A plug to 13A socket is
protected from overload downstream of the socket by the fuse in the 13A
plug and is protected upstream by the 16A breaker feeding the 16A socket.
Obviously if made the other way, protection is by the 13A fuse in the
plug.
Now it might fail for other reasons, but either variant on that cable, if
in good condition and made with appropriate parts should a pass PAT (if
the
person doing the testing is competent to be doing it in a theatre
context).
