The installation was 2 phases with a nutral (the third fuse at the service head didn't have any tails coming out). One thing I haven't noticed before was the meter was the type with the spinning disk with both phases going into it. I've usually seen a meter on each phase.
That sounds similar to the 120/208 single-phase "network" service we have in certain urban areas here. Here, that type of service uses a Form 12S meter (2 current coils and 2 120V coils), which looks similar to the more common Form 2S (2 current coils and 1 240V coil).
A meter on each phase... I've only seen that once, in Mexico. It was in the corner of a small restaurant. Exposed knife switches, too!
