Mike,

I like it when I find a panel like that.

oops, it's not absolutely perfect: the grounds and neutrals aren't equal lengths at the terminals.

I had to find something.

Do you really always see a little black tape (prior to the lug on the circuit breaker) when a white conductor is used in your locale?

I doubt it... No one else I know does either.

If there is a disconnect ahead of this panel why was the bonding jumper installed?

The whites attached to the breakers should have been re-identified as such.

To bond the can to the equipment grounding conductors as is required.
The grounded (neutral) conductors are not bonded to either the can nor the equipment grounding conductors.

The only thing that I don't like is the bundling of the conductors witht the use of tie wraps and of course the Disney World Mickey Mouse ears on the feeders.
