That large conduit sticking out of the wall with the LB terminating into the panel appears to be supported by the panel. Shouldn't there be at least one hanger/support so that it's self-supporting (or maybe I missed seeing it)?

That conduit does not go thru the wall, it goes to another LB into the large disconnect visible on the right.

It is an interesting 'install'.

This is not a recent installation.
Almost all of the equipment in the OP picture appears to be over 30 years old.
I don't know how long that panel has been mounted in that location, but that cover style has not been available for decades.

I know up through the 70s, and probably still today, it was common for 'industrial electricians' to use the NEC as a bookshelf decoration.

JBD:
You're 100% correct, it is a dated job to say the least.

I've been in town for 14 years and never in that bldg. till the day I took the pic.

There is another pic here "Access" with a blocked troff in the same location.
