Now you are talking about thread types - you can obtain all of those - BSP is common for general usage and availability, but NPT is more common in oil and gas, and probably mining work.

Seriously, when was what part of the plant built, and what rules did they use when it was FIRST designed and fabricated? Who designed and built the (new) replacement equipment - and what design standards did THEY use when it was rebuilt?
Standard (fractional or inches-based) piping were common in almost all of the British systems until metric fittings and designs became standardized. You easily could get dual metric and BS standards in the same company in different parts of the same facility. Not often in the same plant - but it has happened.

It's the water running up-hill that gives the greatest advantage.
