Has that cable been dismantled right down to the paper insulation?! Amazing!
I don't think so.
From the OP's description of a wooden trough filled with pitch I would say this cable has been installed in a method known as 'laid solid'
This was where PILC cables were laid in wooden troughs which were then filled with a pitch based compound.
So im pretty sure what has been exposed here is the PILC service cable and not the cable having been dismantled.
