Upgrade of old installation.
Everything just looks very new!
Anyway, I wouldnt tie them. RCBOs are far more likely to require replacement, and tying the neutrals together will make this much harder.
No reason why you shouldn't use old colours for new work on an old installation anyway.
Wouldn't have thought it was very likely you will need to replace those RCBOs.

Mind you, reading earlier posts and looking at the old cu this cable possibly is newly installed...
Did you swap the live and neutral over in the Henley block? (see other posts)
If I said yes while not looking you in the eye and whistling would you believe me?
I wouldn't use zip ties but you can get ties that are easier to take off without cutting them with a "ball and Eye"
There's a small danger you could nick the insulation if you needed to cut the zip tie, looks far neater with them though.
BTW you need the warning notice stating two versions of BS7671 and sleeve the solid green with yellow/green.
Can you can whistle & talk at the same time?

I've just had a BC inspection under Part P on my new CU. I needed another sticker on the CU to warn of a mix between old and new colours. This is in addition to the one instructing the user to test the RCBOs every 3 months.
As a consumer, I hate tying cables together as it increases cross talk and reduces their current carrying capacity.
Induction between parallel conductors.Whats cross talk then?
Whats cross talk then?
It's when Ban-All-Sheds has a 'discussion' with Holmslaw
Anyways, I would be more worried about that bare copper showing at the top of the RCBOs.
