Upgraded panel question

grandmum
10 years ago

House is 60 years old. Electrical has been upgraded, grounded etc. I noticed with the panel that the old GE panel housing was used for the new breakers and new cover.

Is it standard or strange to see the old housing of the panel used with new guts and cover?
