Discuss Couple of questions to the wise in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
The DNO are not subject to the regulations 
But at the most basic level they have followed regs as they have clearly identified the conductor.
As for the SSE MP band, not a clue, sorry.

If your asking what does SSE - MP stand for then you could have a look at the switch for the SSE as for the MP well that's anyone's guess (possible regional ID or 'something' power), if your asking what it is doing then it is a termination shroud possible heat shrink.
Majority of meter seal flags in this area I have seen are initialled MP.
As SC said, BS7671 does not apply to the work before the meter.
Protective conductors can be marked in lots of ways according to the regs. Tape, sleeving, paint, or sometimes not marked at all.

I like to wrap my CPC in Brown, especially when installing new lighting circuits.
This way when Mr.DIY changes his light fittings, and doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing, he has no eyebrows left.
P.S Jk.
Been doing a job this week where the cable for the lighting is PVC sheathed red single and earth, except the cpc was not bare, it was green sleeved throughout the cable. Not seen this cable type before.
Best bit was that they had used the green core as neutrals and switch returns throughout the system....nothing marked up.
I have this amongst by random off cuts, what you are describing but has a red sheath.
Can I ask... did you cut that out of a place and keep it?
Just trying to ascertain if my growing collection of old cable types is a little bit strange or not

No idea where it came from but when Andy mentioned it I thought I have some of that and found it straight away amongst my junk.
In that case I'll never mention my collection of cable samples ever again
It might not say it but it’s not good practice as the tape isn’t actually rated to withstand any voltage however sleeving is.
Why did you keep it with your junk seems a bit kinky you must really get a kick out of electrical work
