The top-left decora has a ground-prong snapped off in it too.

Hmm... let's count all the sins:

Use of indoor boxes on outdoor installation
Too many wires in each KO.... it looks crammed!
Missing KOs leading critter infestation
No GFCI on the white plug....OK if fed by one of the brown ones though. (I HIGHLY doubt this to be the case...LOL!)

Where's the main disconnect?

Except for the critters, the wiring job is fairly clean though.It looks like it has been exposed to moisture... I bet the plugs don't have great connection integrity any more.

That looks like type THW or TW wire in those pipe nipples, surely more than should be in a 1/2" pipe. I can't imagine a situation where you would need to use wire lube to go three inches, but I'll bet they did on this one.

" TEW" 105*C stamped on one of the many green wires.. Guess from the looks of it they didn't want to share neutrals, OR grounds!
