All black with an earth sounds like CY cable and the blacks are usually numbered if you can get a better look.

By the looks of it, the red and orange pairs are the stepper motor wires. Even without the fact the board has 4th Axis Drive written on it, the pair of chips mounted to the heatsink are very much like an old stepper motor drive.
I'd also guess red are one pair, and orange the other pair.
As for the multicore wiring, I'd power things up, and see what kind of voltages you get on the wires, as that'll give us an idea of what they might potentially be.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

Must admit, that threw me a bit when the multicore went elsewhere and the red & orange went to the board marked 4th axis !!
more investigation tomorrow
