depends what rating of mcbs though
Tails look to be 16mm2 or at the very least 10mm2 so it's a safe bet that they're fine for the loading they're providing.
Wrong really.
There's nothing wrong with 16mm2, 10mm2 or even 6mm2 tails supplying a 100A switch.
From what I can see in the pic on my phone,
1-the supply appears to be from a bus bar chamber above the DB and there is no sign of any protection.
2-the DB is not IP2X due to the missing cover.
3-cables from old version of BS not sleaved or identified.
4-earthing is a bit lacking but the condinuity to the enclosure and SWA gland might be acceptible

10mm tails fed straight from busbar enclosure above with no OCPD 
Looks like 16mm tails to me for sure.
Depends on the size of the OCPD supplying the busbar chamber, although I don't think this is what RF was looking for. If he was, he would have taken a wider shot and not cut off the busbar notice (unless he is ****e and photography )
I still go by the exposed live plug in prongs on the top of the main switch.

no main earth?
correction, you said it's the cable coming in near the swa.

Thanks for the informative correction.
Probably dumb amateur time but: Is there anything actually connected to what looks like an earth terminal top right of the metal enclosure? Where/how is the enclosure earthed?
