It is on the load side of the service disconnect, so the code will permit that installation. Not sure I would do it that way, but the code says it is ok.

Are you using the raceway as your equipment ground conductor? Seems a bit odd not to carry a ground conductor from your 1600A service. What happens when someone forgets a locknut.

They are supposed to be electrically continuous anyway.

Same thing that happens if you don't have metal raceways or enclosures and an EGC fails for some reason.
