All looks fine to me...

Topmount black circle only holds the cover in place as far as I know.

Fuse box always has extra slots for relays as it depends on what extra's the may or may not have!

I've seen worse. I would redo the whole lot.

The relays (not fuses) look like they are for an uprated headlamp loom.
