receptacle installed outside a house from a main disconnect.

[Matt the electrician]

Hello,
I was recently on a job that had an external outside main disconnect switch. the feeder wires were run through PVC conduit into the internal panel inside the garage. On the outside of the garage, there was a GFCI receptacle that was actually coming out of the main disconnect box. I have never seen this before. I do realize that you can have feeder and branch circuit conductors in the same raceway as per definition 100 of a feeder and NEC 230.7, yet I have never seen an outside receptacle run in this way. for my own knowledge, is this code legal? please help.

Pictures would help.
But if the disconnect has branch circuit spaces, and the receptacle was fed from a properly protected circuit, I see no problem. But then again, I/we can't see what you see.
