It is not uncommon to come across 10mm tails (and I have seen 6mm tails) and VIR meter tails. I also often see single insulated meter tails that pass through a wall between the meter and the CU. I know that swapping the tails is not a DIY job but the tails are part of the electrical installation and worth a mention.
