Stop acting like a child?
the cable in the picture looks like it probably is 6 mm t+e. can't you compare it with a known 6 mm cable?
places like B&Queue still sell it by the metre, don't they? sure you can smuggle out an inch long piece.

I too was confused by the figures and agree with 20.5A. However I was taught to use 10A + 30% of max = 23.5A to give a little better margin.
In 1996 we used to buy 1000m drums of stranded 2.5mm T&E from Batt cables for nightclub loudspeakers. If we were lucky they had twin which is used for light festoons. Being stranded it has better high frequency characteristics. Dunno if its still available though.
