If the panel is screwed shut (like this one in particular), there are spliced cables inside them. If this cover is able to be lifted up and opened, it contains the service disconnects.

In this situation, Jeff is correct. The right side panel is scewed shut and the two service disconnects are accessible and located under the two meters.

All you are going to find inside this cover is spliced cables. There's no need to remove.

They forgot to paint the meters...

Need to blend electrical equipment into the siding of the building.

All screws to panels must be completely coated so as no screw drivers
can engage correctly. Indication of last known panel *#&@ing around.
