What is the amperage of this service? 400 is identified at the pole above, the distribution box is 200 and the main breaker is 200. I suspect 200 but the meter base has me confused.

Based on what you’ve provided, it’s a 200 amp service. The meter base can only be used as a potential indicator. It’s size and/or shape is not a definitive indicator of the service capacity.
Why would a 200 amp service use CT’s for metering? The conduit and conductors in the pipe with the stand-offs looks rather large for 200 amps.
Most all digital meters are 200. Refer to utility company for verification.
Thanks.
