Default Rectangular Box, 100CL Meter

Is this model meter rated for 200 amp service? There is a lack of drip loop and the main service panel is a 200 amp FPE, wondering if they need the meter upgraded as well ...

The meter rating is inconsequential. . .

Worst case, the meter will burn out and they'll get some free power, but it will still pass current okay.
