BSW Filler Plug Armstrong Rear Shocks?

The filler plugs on the rear shocks didn't seem to match Imperial or Metric wrenches last night - bigger than 1/2 inch; too small for 9/16; bigger than 13 mm etc. I've got one socket set where the socket design allows them to used on both metric & imperial, and successfully used the 14 mm. Any advice as to the sizing? Possibly British Standard Whitworth?
