Is this 70s wiring the equivalent of 4mm T&E

Hi all,

I've been doing some mapping of the wiring in this property I recently purchased, the cabling for the main living and bedrooms appears to be a radial circuit (see plan, starts at the green dot, red obviously sockets and purple is the wiring). This circuit connects to a 32amp circuit breaker, and I presume it was laid in the 70s/80s. From what I understand 4mm T&E cables are required for a 32amp radial circuit. I wondered whether the cabling used is suitable for this, it measures about 11mm wide and the wires are solid core, I don't have a tool to measure this wire but see attached photo.

I would be grateful for any advise on this, also does the wiring layout look okay or would a full rewire be sensible?
