isn't the wires BT use wholely inconsistent?

0.7 copper in one area, 0.2 in another, ali in another?

I got told my area is a mix of 0.6 ali and 0.2 copper by more then one local engineer.

If going to worry about copper gauge and the graphs, have people considered the varying power masks (3 are used based on distance of cab from exchange) and what effect this has compared to the theoretical situations.

0.2 copper? Perhaps 0.020" = ~0.5mm?

Sorry all this FTTC stuff is new to me - we've just had a cabinet enabled and I'm just trying to learn a little about it - preferably in layman's terms

I cant say for sure, but we were talking mm so as far as I now its 0.2mm.
