First thing is to look at the sleeving of the wires. There will be a sequence repeated every 5-6" or so. Let me have the codes and I may be able to give some pointers.

I can't help with the large one, but if you look at the thinner wires, the code numbers are easily visible for example where I have arrowed in red in your picture - just look for similar on the ones you are holding. Unfortunately the wiring colours are useless as PSA don't go by the wire colour (they use anything going) only the code.

Looks like some kind of stereo wiring, USB/aux or similar
I have various repair handbooks and wiring diagrams for C5 mk1, Xantia, XM, Berlingo and C3 mk1.
I have Lexia/Diagbox (Sweden) and Servicebox/sedre

That's my thinking looking at where other ends are heading .
As for wire codes I'll have to have another look i tried but couldn't make em out, half the letters or numbers were all smudged & didn't fancy un tangling em any more than were already & risk breaking something

Do you have a pic of the pins of the connector face on? looks like the wiring is in a sheath/flex so you wont likely get any meaningful codes off it. I agree it looks like some sort of Aux/ USB lead but cant recall there ever being anything like that at the centre console on that age of C4. Could it be aftermarket? do you still have the original stereo?
