Hi Dave
Very clever trick that someone on here pointed out;
Measure Ze then measure loop impedance between line and neutral. If they are the same then it's an earthed neutral, if there is a difference then they are seperate.

Hope that helps

That Terminal block for the earths joins into the neutral. So that makes it PME TNC-S. The fuse is probably a BS1361 or a BS88. No real way of knowing (that I know of) which it is until it is removed and looked at.
I see that the seal has already dropped on the floor......so I would remove it and look......just to make sure.
