Wire connection to a Triton 90SI

I was about to replace a Triton T90SI for a new Triton T90SR when I noticed the earth wiring looked weird.

At closer inspection, I've my doubts how to proceed here. I know what cables are Live and Neutral. The second blue in theory should be yellow/green and should be earth.

Looking at the photo, I'm not sure how to proceed. I thought this would be a straight swap, but this wiring made me stop and think twice.

Full disclosure, I'm not a professional electrician but I know my way around.

Only a rec is permitted to do electrical work in bathrooms by law. It’s a criminal offence

the cables look like 6mm and they should be 10mm

the earth wire is sleeved with a blue insulator

when this shower is reconnected it should be tested for earth loop and rcd trip times

time for a registered electrical contractor

Thanks! I was not aware of the law. Time to back off and let a rec in.
