The neutral does not appear to be isolated - it’s wire for 240v with fuses that are not coupled - it’s not a great illustration, but what else are you seeing?

where it says: (no bonding screw or strap allowed) and pointing to the ground bus.

The ground bus may already be grounded to the enclosure, but no harm in putting another screw or strap to the box.
