A bit more context is needed here.

The use of "choc blocks" is OK in an enclosure, but it appears this might not be enclosed. Also it looks like the body of the lamp is metallic (but painted black), however, there appears to be no CPC (earth wire) connected to that.

As far as I am concerned that is a C2 (potential danger) as their is no earth (cpc) on what appears a metal lamp base

What markings are on the lamp? Double insulated symbol (two concentric squares)? Suitable for a flammable surface (F in a triangle)?
What condition is the rubber (?) insulation of the wires in? Is there a cpc present?

I think the equipment shown predates the concentric squares symbol by several decades.

C1 for exposed connections in its current state.

Equipment is disassembled, and there’s no cpc. That’s two faults. I would say immediately dangerous.

However, you could be pedantic and say, if it’s not part of an energised system, then should it be coded at all?? There’s no information about that, only an assumption.

It’s difficult to advise on an electrical issue when some isn’t very conversant with electrical terminology.

The coding part is all down to experience and knowing whether something is right or wrong. Remember some pics have no faults.
