Hi, i remember seing these in the French Mediterranian, Cote d' Azur, San Rafaël - Frejus.
Near the Boulouris camping where we stayed was also one of those high TX buildings.
A service man was working there and i managed to get a peek inside ( pre osh days ) the HV cables entered near the roof through the green glass insulators.

In it was a HV switch, HV fuses a big transformer and kWh metering, as well as LV fuses and cables.

I was probably about 17 then and didn't work in the electrical industry yet, so i cant give exact details of the layout.
See if i can dig up a photo i have somewhere.
