The colour of the wires should tell you what job they do. Has your 6-position light switch has been bypassed?

The 3x brown double bullet females are permanent live / output from the fuse box - but check with your DVM. The green-brown [purple?] link is non-std, what colour wires are on the connector input?
Suggest getting both Haynes and Workshop Manual for wiring diagrams. MOD Landy wiring is not too different from Civvy Landies. All that mud/crud on your wiring will can be cleaned with a good dose of WD40 and a rag
eta: whatever you do don't chop any wires, far better to thoroughly clean and inspect, then work out where the wires go.
note: most MOD Landies have spare brown wires behind the centre dash/rotary light pod - I've used my spares for a cigar lighter, twin USB port and a flexible map reading lamp

I was thinking the connector may be a replacement for the RIST convoy connector

What colour is the broken wire?
Genuine Q...do you have a DVM [digital volt meter] and know how to buzz out wires/electrical ccts for continuity/volts/measure resistance/current? If not, buy a DVM and learn how to do this, it's a much needed skill with car wiring. Really recommend the Haynes car electrical manual
and something like this
The best thing with these books is that one can learn each of the techniques live on your Landy without doing much harm. Just don't short out your ignition/starter ccts to ground whilst trying to start the engine as you'll get a big surprise!

I do have a meter, or AVO, as I knew them, so I'll get that Haynes as well.
I opened the fuse box and the broken wire is purple, as per this pic. Where ought that to be attached and is it a bayonet fitting?
