The 2 amp (about two hundred watts at household voltage) difference isn't that significant so the construction of the sockets should not differ greatly unless they are made of different conducting materials (aluminum/copper). The 15A socket should have thicker contacts or wiring to support the extra amperage or better construction to conduct away the extra heat that might be generated.
