For a Job I need to extend and relocate 3x SWA cables, after inspecting the cables I first concluded that they were 25mm 2core, after then comparing an off cut of 25mm 3 core to the existing cables the 3core appears the same size or even possibly smaller, I am now pondering if the existing cables are 35mm 2 core,
I only have the one picture at the moment but will be able to post a picture of inside the enclosures in a couple of days, all cables fit into a standard 60947-3, would 35mm fit into one?
Any help appreciated thanks

Would look better if everything was lined up neatly. Sorry, not the feedback you were wanting, but I had to say it!
 
It look like it could be either but the only way I know to be sure is to get the micrometer out and do the sums to be sure which is what I would do. The BS951 clamps are going I presume? and the swa properly glanded? Single insulated tails are not good either bit of a poor install all in all looks like you have your work cut out.
 
They are all double insulated they just have red and black sheaths. Yes everything is getting re-done, A new hut is being built about 15 metres away to house the 3 existing supplies and a new 4th supply,

You would treat it as a TT installation.
