I just posted in "photos" a smalll version of the map of the nautical
boundaries that the US State Department created according to input
from the British, after DoS was unable to get the map attached to the
treaty.

Anyone who would like the large scan can ask off-line.

It is clear that the eastern SBA forms a closed area - the E & W
borders meet about 32 nautical miles off shore (within which there are
international waters eliminating any chance of the area being an
enclave or an exclave. The British claim 3 miles of sovereign
territory off shore under existing treaties to which the British
subscribe, and the Cypriots claim 12.

With the SBA also comprised of a pumping station or whatever it is,
the sea boundaries would be incomplete, unless the pumping station on
the coast has no maritime component (and is therefore enclaved). Can
anyone help with that?
