Has this any failings do you think? The door can be replaced.

In a word, yes, there were at least two if not three paxoline guards to prevent anybody touching the live bars feeding the fuse carriers, also same on the botto covering outgoing conductors and one for over the neutral bar. If you look at the extreme left and right hand sides those little stand offs with the groove slot in them was where they were fitted. So you basically placed one end of the paxoline in one standoff and at the other you opened a bit and let the paxoline sit in the groove, that was it and all pretty solid when it was done. The little threaded screw on the standoffs just in front of the groove you fully tihtened it, and that was the position for removing the paxoline cover, you actually loosened the screw out a number of turns and that then stopped anybody removing the paxoline.

Issue was of course the screws went missing followed by the paxoline. The incoming three Line conductors just bolted straight onto each of the bars feeding the fuse carriers, and from the pic looks like somebody has fitted a switch/joint in each of the incoming line conductors plus another couple of fuse carriers. Yes asbestos cloth would have been within each of those carriers.

Enclosure looks correctly mounted to me, door hinged on the left hand side and could be lifted right off if required when door in a certain position. Made by MEM if my memory serves me correctly.

I remember working on these or more likley removing them during the 80's.

You get full marks for experience and correct observation GTB. I believe that the paxolin panels are present but were removed for the photo.
