I'm still surprised that no one has bothered to comment about this installation with regard to the possibility of adding more circuits let alone multi-wire circuits and the ramifications thereof.
I do lots of installations that someone can take later and really mess up. I install to code for what I'm installing and have it inspected. I cannot and do not worry that the next person who comes along is competent. What's to stop someone from running a 120V circuit off the "B" phase of a delta setup? If they don't take the time to figure out what they are doing is correct, the liability lies on them, not me.
With that said, I have hooked up several panels as you have shown. They were an commercial/industrial setup where the panel was fed from a 120V inverter. Yes, I found existing setups where they shared a neutral. I fixed those problems after I addressed them with the owner. There are more then enough incompetent electricians out there that screw things up. I cannot babysit them, that's the inspector's job. They should be pulling a permit when adding a circuit.
Also, the front of that panel should have a label to let those know who pull the cover off that it's 120V only. No MWBC's! Not required, but advisable.
