Correct termination of SWA cable

[Midwest]

Having been reading a thread recently about private lamp post installations, I've been look at my place of work's lamp posts.

We are considering making some alterations to the existing installation, so I went looking for some manufacturers product details. I took off a post cover, and discovered the detail plate, but also noted the swa cables in & out, haven't been terminated with the proper swa glands, but jubilee clips, no shrouds either.

Just to make sure it wasn't a one off, I randomly inspected other posts and found the same. The posts cut outs are these.

I'm not sure how you would terminate swa cables into such a cut out, but I don't think a jubilee clip is a British or Harmonised Standard for use with swa cable. I've only just web searched the cut out, and will make contact with the manufacturer, but what do you guys think?

That is how it is supposed to be installed. Some others come with hole positioned for 20mm banjo for cw swa gland depends on the brand.

This is how I was told to do it about 13 years ago as a 2nd year apprentice in the freezing cold. (Snow/Rain) Could not feel my face let alone my fingertips that was my punishment for telling him “I’m here to learn not to work” bad move that had a phobia of lamposts since ?
