Think of it as half a dozen sockets on an unused spur off a 32A ring.I'd go C3 with an FI to examine the RCD for DC leakage with an appropriate clamp meter. If the investigation doesn't show DC leakage then C3 (with a note on how DC leakage can have a negative effect on Type AC RCDs and how the client should consider RCD type when making future purchases (EV charger, DC heavy white goods), but if it does show a sizable amount of DC leakage (potentially enough to blind the RCD and prevent proper operation) then I'd C2 then I'd look to replace the RCD for a more suited type.
You wouldn't, on inspection, say there was no overload at point of inspection, or even evidence of previous overloading, therefore C3.
You would say there is potential to overload an insufficiently protected circuit, therefore C2.
Its about what can reasonably be expected.
