judging from the hook-holes in the socket, i'd say bayonet.

this
aka "not an edison screw, the other one"

This

Either a B15 or B22
Probably a B22

IKEA sell adapters for £0.25, if you want to standardise on screw bulbs.

Screw bulbs suck, but they appear to be the international standard. "International" meaning "everywhere but America", of course.

although that large philips screw jammed in between the terminals looks a little worrying. OP, had someone untrained tried to 'fix' that socket?

It's a trick of perspective: it's actually behind the pins.

I'd imagine it's quite important for holding the shield (and therefore the bulb) in place.
