What is the power rating of this MK cooker outlet?

[Bodgy Bob]

Hi, I am looking to replace my kitchen cooker (it's about 40 years old) with a modern equivalent though I want to confirm the cooker power outlet is suitable. Please find enclosed photos of the MK outlet. The fuse box is unlabelled therefore I was unable to identify the fuse rating. I assume this old MK outlet is 45A rated which is equivalent to a new MK replacement. Though I wanted to see whether anyone on the forum has come across this type and can confirm its power rating. Thanks.

There should be a cable clamp on the outgoing cable.

MK 5045, rating not specified in the catalogue but designed to take up to 2x10mm² conductors so will be rated to at least the same as 10mm² cable, which is far in excess of 45A.
Any modern cooker outlet will be a suitable replacement.

Though possibly no more than 63A which is unlikely for a cooker.
