There may be writing or markings on the inside of the lid you took off.

No worries mate I appreciate your responses! Yeah both neighbours have that access panel/plate but no visible cables entering and exiting at the bottom like I do. The thinner cable you mentioned is chopped off. It looks like a coaxial cable judging by the end that's exposed. I have no idea where that other white cable goes - on the other side of the wall of that white cable indoors there's a blank plate with what looks like phone cables inside - the metal mechanical protection seems to have been wrapped around one of the lugs on the back box!
Most likely.Those most recent photos, are obviously some sort of telecoms wires.
The telecom wires only appear to be an extension onto the original plain coloured rediffusion incomers?Those most recent photos, are obviously some sort of telecoms wires.
Yeah this is where we've got to! If they are indeed Rediffusion cables, I have no use for them, can they be cut off safely?
Are they not coaxes? for Cable TVProbably, were it me, I would check with a meter, to see if there is any voltage between the wires, check each also against earth. If nothing found, take careful photos of the connection colours, and/or notes, so you can restore them if necessary, then disconnect them all. Leave it for a month, and if no complaints, or knocks at the door, cut the cables.
