Looks like a lip service re - wire, just add new fittings to the old wiring.
Wonder if there's lots of connectors hidden in the wall behind the CU & the Blue, Brown and G / Y are there for show.
Wouldn't be the first time I've seen that done

You know Pete, if we all got together & wrote a book on things we'd seen, no bugger would buy it.
They'd think we were all sniffing white powder

With the exception of the ring final it has been rewired I really pulled it apart it is odd because it is a bungalow which are quite straightforward.

It is for a client who provide support housing. They have just taken it on and wanted a check on the rewire. That ring final is a figure of eight with various cabling dating back to the mid sixties at its oldest point but the rest is actually okay why they left it who knows. First impressions of board I thought this will be okay. View attachment 36472

You could get a little forum cooperative going to get the publishing funding - or ask JK Rowling as @Specialist says, they'll think it's fantasy @Pete999

Whoever installed these at different heights needs a smack. In this same room the low level points were are 5 different heights.

Same property, located during periodic. Must have been like it for years, the property has been tested every five years, there were so many faults we ended up doing a full rewire.
