interesting, what size mcb's are in the new board ?

Doesn't look very new.
How do you know that it's OK?
Needs a couple of blanking plates - dangerous as is.
And you'll only be able to use 5 of the positions in it, so you won't be gaining anything.

Are we to take it that you have decided you are competent to act as designer and yet you don't know which circuits need RCD protection?

Why do you want to split the ring and how do you intend to do it ?
Indeed, you haven't asked about that.
Is that because you are fully aware of the RCD requirements, and therefore had no need to ask, or because you have no idea that there are RCD requirements?
Which ways in that obsolete CU do you think you can use for what?
I think what ban is getting at, is that new installations/circuits/cu's require RCD protection. Only the breakers on the right of your new board are RCD protected.
You could Buy RCBO's (which are quite expensive), these are "breakers" and RCD's in one unit, to fit on the left side of the board. It would then comply with the RCD requirements. You could do this for your lighting circuits for example and maybe ring.

That is more normal. It very much depends on the age of the house and installation though.
