It’s sounds very similar to our system (placing of meters and such). I posted a picture of a Swedish service entrance. This is a rather old one but it’s typical. Big black thing to the right, meter. Below it main fuses and a main switch. In the fuse panel phases are located top to bottom (1,2,3). This particular panel is divided in four 3-phase groups and 9 single. The little box in the middle is a GFCI. This particular service is a bit odd. You can se 3 cables (old nasty steel shielded ones) enter at the bottom. One is from the power company junction in the street the other 2 goes only through the meter panel and down the street to the two neighbouring houses. Very funny I haven’t seen this type of connection before.
