Just use your ticker to verify voltage on the proper legs, smile and move on as it it fine and will probably never be used again in their lifespan.

It's for a microwave/convection oven unit, still installed today. I wired for one recently. Unless that's a mobile home, it looks like that was installed after the 96 code (4 wire).
