Ernie— I'm starting to get the picture now with your added information. Your first post said the Service point was the "line terminals of disconnect".

The pole top cutouts do not qualify as a Service Disconnect based on 230.70. You were saying that the Service Point is at the line terminals of the disconnect switch - apparently the pole top cutouts is what you were referring to. This would mean the conductors after the pole top cutouts are customer owned and the the conductors are Service Entrance conductors that need a Service Disconnect that complies with 230.70. I suspect that the cutouts are utility owned.

I don't see anyone making any comments so maybe the answer is forthcoming from others. I've never had to inspect a service like this so maybe I can learn something.
