C2 in my book. no cable restraint and chance of shorting out to CU casing. potential dangerous. the different holes i'd code as C3 as the small eddy currents on a dom. will not cause a problem
 
Are the tails insulated and sheathed?
Is there any signs of damage /abrasions to the tails?
And is it TT?
 
C
Whilst I agree that in reality it's unlikely to pose any real issue in a domestic installation I would still C2 it as it is not something which I would condone.
C2 potentially dangerous?
If there was evidence of thermal effects on the enclosure then that's the only time I would C2 it for tails entering different holes.
Just my opinion tho.
I'd be more concerned with the lack of protection to the cables entering the enclosure.
 
Is the main earth a"tail" ?
The earthing conductor must pass through the ferromagnetic enclosure together with the live tails. I'm not sure if that was what you were asking though.
