Zoomup:
The place seems to have become run down and antiquated. Why not modernise the electrics rather than patching up the old stuff?
Cost, but what price safety?
Fuse box without additional protection = C3. I do not see how the absence of a cover would change that provided that all the fuse carriers and shrouds are in place; i.e. IP2X protection is intact. If that is not the case, it is C1 (with or without the cover).
I cannot imagine that there are many circuits required in each CU (4?) so just bite the bullet and bring the installations into the 21st century!
ETA, if you have got a brand new EICR for each home, half the job of replacing the CUs has already been done.
