Not sure about this one since the original range receptacle device was a 3 prong. Can we use a 4 prong device if we jumper from the metal box/conduit to the receptacle and the path is conduited (EMT) back to the subpanel? I am seeing quite a bit of these setups lately. I always thought that you had to have a grounding conductor established especially since it's protected at the subpanel.

If the raceway is continuous back to the subpanel you can use it as the EGC.

One glance, late at night; seems ok to me.
