I take it that the red cables in the 1st picture are Fire Alarm cables?.

Correct.

What exactly is holding that consumer unit up in the second picture?.
-------------
The consumer unit is being held up by two of the twin and earth cables which are clipped onto a joist.

One thing I find strange is that enclosure above the meter, in pic #4, where that Steel Wire armoured cable enters and there are the meter tails and another cable leaving.
Is that a proper PoCo joint in that box?.
-------------
Hell no. The PoCo cut-out and meter are in the bottom of the third photo. The meter at the top of the box is a private meter and is fed from the MCB at the bottom left of the panel. The load side of the meter is then connected to the RCD and then out through that SWA to a consumer unit at the other end of the pub.

Unless my eyes deceive me, are those not a couple of arc-fault breakers in the bottom photo?.
-------------
No they're not. The panel has a 100A disconnector at the bottom of the panel, two 63A three phase MEM MCBs, and two 63A single phase MCBs with RCBO attachments.
There is no RCD protection for the installation at the board, the only RCDs are the ones you see hanging which go off to other distribution boards.
