When I look down the connection socket that is actually on the PS2 I can see that there are metal contacts that would connect with a metal plug, unless they are just spring loaded do-dahs to hold any plug in place plastic or metal. Odd taht the OEM sony one is plastic and yet there are after market ones that are metal.
It is quite normal to have connectors with different constructions. Don't concern yourself with the plastic/metal thing. It could even be that the plastic plug is, overall, a better quality connector.
