Figuring out System Voltage

Hello,

I’m a new student in engineering. We were given different scenarios and asked to figure out the system voltage from real life pictures and voltage/current readings. I’m stuck on one of them. For the voltage readings I got:
A to B: 215.4
A to C: 215.1
B to C: 215.3

A to GND: 124.3
B to GND: 124.6
C to GND: 123.9

Also I realized that there was only 1 transformer can coming in from the pole so I assumed it was a 240V spilt phase system.

This would indicate a 240Y/120V spilt phase system. Just making sure I have enough evidence to prove my answer. Would there be anything else I would have to consider?

you know the nominal utilization v is 120

120/124.3 (avg of the 3) x 215.3 (avg of the 3) =207.9

208/120 is a standard nominal system voltage
