Only one customer?  There are a couple "consulting" firms in
particular around here that use arbitrary space on internal
networks.  Sometimes a currently-dark IP block is configured, so
"it works for us".  It gets annoying after a while.

Reverse NAT the Ericsson space to RFC1918 space, and hax0r the NS to give out 10-dot addresses for Ericsson hostnames. :)
