Being brown I'm guessing they're grounds for something. Where do the wires go too? If you could trace them to a connector I'd be able to tell you more.

do they look to be part of the original loom or something added in after manufacture? could it be 1 wire that has been cut and not 2 separate 1s?

Implying this person wired them up with correctly orientated wires. I see it a lot at work where people just use any old colour and solder it to any old place.

Just follow the wires as far as you can and try to see where they are attached I guess. but if everything works....
