Hmm. Hard to say if the wiring is from the 60s or not.
The double back box looks more recent. The use of green and yellow sleeving is a lot more recent than the 60s too.
Perhaps it was a single socket converted to a double??
Are you certain this is a 60s house?
For sockets, it was common to use stranded cable up until about 1970, then solid cables were used.
I wonder if this house is a little older than the 60s, and was re-wired, hence that messy bunch of cables at the consumer unit. A messy bunch of cables with a cable tie is certainly quite 'modern'.
