    Those don't look like listed fittings but I can't find anything that states they have to be.

    They certainly are not listed as depicted in the photo but no one manufactures a fitting to terminate a 500 kcmil GEC to a 1.25" raceway so someone improvised.

    No it is a bonding strap which is pary of the lug. I assume if the lug accepts a 4/0 then so does the entire lug.

    I meant the small wire going from the grounding bushing to the tap onto the 500's

    Ron, that is not a wire. It just a side view of a standard copper lug.
