Good job on photos.
OK so from post 20 you have 4 wire 208 / 120. Basically wye connected with neutral. Panel looks good they even phase taped the service conductors and HOT DAMN even got it right.
Your voltage readings in post 20 (?) confirm you have 208/120 nominal. Readings are a little higher than that but that is OK.
IN the panel the tripped breaker looks like it is feeding two black conductors. The three breakers are independent. Either tie them together with a tie bar or get a 3 pole breaker (best practice). CAREFUL when feed two loads with one leg of a three phase circuit like what I see. IF they are both fully loaded AND trip breaker (only the one) then you will single phase every motor.
Also you CAN direct wire SO cord into a panel. Done all the time.
You are right the person who put this togethr cobblied it pretty good.
For all I know you may be a master electrician but from the sounds of it you are not. IF you decide to fix yourself you are actually in pretty good shape.
Here is where to go.
1. I would use conduit from the panel to the receptacle. Pull in 5 conductors ie the 3 phases neutral and ground. In indoors use metal boxes and bond them to ground. If outdoors get good plastic boxes with good covers and ensure they are listed for at minimum raintite or washdown 4X.
2. YOu will probably need a 5 pin receptacle and plug. Mount receptacle so cap is pointing down by the way. It will drain better
3. Get 5 conductor SO cord. Use phase tape so that the conductor colors at each end of So are consistant with those in panel ie A phase black B red C blue white neut and green ground.
4. Chacke with factory to ensure 230 volt motors can run on 208.
5. Double check all motors connected for 230. with your voltage at 215 phasse to phase (was it? you should be OK.
6. Double check with factory to ensure rest of components will be OK on 208.
Gotta go to work and fix that SNAFU wiring.

I will get some reading and be back.......
