Red and black wires are brake light switches.

Looks to be solid white and black with a white stripe which are Head light and indicator respectively

Given theres lots of electrical tape wrapping. Maybe it something that was added late, a fuel pump possibly?

Hi, It did have an electric fuel pump as was FI but I remove the wiring. I added the tape to keep the wires all together when I took the body off the pan.

I can't find a wiring diagram that has anything other then red and black wires.....

Unless anyone knows better than me, the only thing you can do it trace them back through the bulkhead and see where they go. Not fun, but will answer the question.
