Not necessarily, if the service was only 30 amp, it was common to have
plug fuses

Oh, also, the wiring looks to be 12 or 14 ga (cloth covered, older
wire so
it's hard to tell), and the fuses are all 30A. I'm assuming I should
mention this to the owner and mention that he should get the correct
sized
fuses in?

You are probably not in a position to dictate to the
owner what he should do about all these problems. But at the
very least present him with some kind of statement of what was
found, for your own benefit if nothing else.

What do you think he meant by "I should mention this to the owner?"

Anyone have the thought that one of the fuses may have been the "main"
and the other fuse the "circuit"?

Mains are not screw in. They are pull out type.
