Service disconnect connections

I am guessing this is a service disconnect. Is the disconnect service equipment rated / 3R rated? Bonding requirement to enclosure? Have never seen the grounding conductor from the load side connected that why to the supply side of disconnect. Not sure if violation exists, will wait to see what other chime in with. Gut feeling is it is okay since it is not a current carrying conductor.
 
Looks like it's an outside service disco, which of course now makes the breaker panel a sub panel you need to make sure that;s done properly. Why do you feel it might be an issue? I see them all the time. It's quite often an economical way to provide access to the service disco and also a way around the disco at point of entry to house rule when your dealing with a crawlspace, or poor meter location in relation to house layout.
 
Refresher. The name of this thread is "Service Disconnect Connections"If you look closely, you will see something a bit different than what you usually see. Just asking an opinion without steering it one way or another.Would you pass this?Is there even a problem?Just making you think because it is slightly different. Here is another shot farther away.

The Equipment and Electrode conductor connected the other way around but isn't it bonded on the same bus?

Looks like a typical service disconnect when they are running more than 15' of cable to the panel
