I'm sure Adam can add more datapoints than everyone else here combined.

AFAIK PME has been the /default/ for new, ordinary connections for
quite some time.


me too, with "quite some time" being from the late 60's onwards, except
overhead supplies?


Overhead supplies have often had PME added later. This place (overhead
supply) was fully rewired in the mid 80's I believe, and was TT then.
However at some time in the 10 to 15 years after that, the network must
have been upgraded to PME since the cutout now sports a yellow PME label
(well spotted Adam!)
