I imagine 76 mm would now be the size of pipe available for the 3" and 100 mm for the 4"
The concrete boxes might be in imperial and cause you some problems.
Many things have turned exclusively to Metric, not always for the better.
Cable for example…For years the British standard was Red for live, Black for Neutral and green for earth.
Then along came the EU… 
Brown for live, Blue for neutral and yellow and green stripe for earth… 
And there is another cock up…Three phase used to consist of Yellow - Blue - red, Black was neutral…
As Google explains…

Well, an inch was originally derived from the width of a thumb, and a metre was a millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator, along the meridian through Paris….
You can figure out the rest from that.
