Name the breaker. (Dorman Smith BS3871 Type D).

Sparkingchip

I an trying to determine the maximum Zs for the spare 16 amp MCB with a 5 second disconnect time. 

The maximum Zs of the SWA distribution circuit will be less than 1.4 ohms using a third core as the CPC not including the armour, so it will be lower.

Edit- taking Ze as 0.8 ohms TNS.

    Were the B.S. 3871 breakers types 1, 2 or 3?

    I thought some brands at least did B/C/D types under the BS 3871 banner for a while just before/during the transition to BS EN 60898.
