It looks like a subpanel, which would not require a main.

At second glance, it looks like a split-bus. . .

Absolutely, only the two-pole grey breaker(s) on the right side is missing the handle tie.

How can you tell that?

That is the isolation block/mount for the neutral bar.

This panel far pre-dates that code. Mentioning it would be IMO seen as unnecessarily picky. There is no danger/hazard at all there.

Other than that mass/mess of NM cables coming in that one sleeve, which I hate, and the things already mentioned, I can think of much else.
Were grounding electrode conductors and/or water bonds present?

Duh
Thanks for answering my dumb question Speedy.
Did not even notice the neutral bar being buried like that.
