Yes, Val, your eyes are correct.
This small house (last two pics) was built with a full "basement/ garage" about the same time as FDR was promising a chicken in every pot. The original wiring method was K & T for the two household circuits, with rigid used for the range circuit. The water heater, for some reason, got EMT.
In several places, the piping was interrupted, over the years, to splice in additional outlets. I took the pics during my demolition of this mess; that is why the RMC is just hanging there, empty, in one pic.
The dryer in this basement was connected, by "flying splice" to the range conductors. The washer was spliced in a similar mannet to the K & T, using Romex. There were many, many "creative" wiring techniques used throughout.
Not only was the original system lacking in an equipment ground- wherever there was one, created by the use of pipe, it was removed when the pipe was interrupted.
