A larger picture may help as only a short segment of the wires is shown, not all the terminations. Looks like the wiring has been there awhile, added somewhere along the timeline and was painted over in an engine bay freshening.
I'd have to search out the electric diagrams and see what's going on, if they followed the color and gauge properly, and I've no time/interest for that, but you certainly can and have the evidence at hand to verify...ie track it yourself.
If I had to guess, they improvised a horn button, IF that's the horn relay as the red wire painted black goes into the passenger compartment. Easy test if the horn works normally or not.
ps: Makes my safety point of suspect wiring in these cars is rampant and often a source for fires, shorts, etc. A short cut repair, after many decades who knows it's condition either.
