Wire identification?

The purple wire is the live for the horn if I remember correctly, the black is its earth. The horn is usually mounted on the nearside of the vehicle behind the grill.

Don't know on the first one, looks like pad warning light but defenders don't have that (I think) LR use that style connector on a lot of things
2nd one could be horn

Can anyone confirm what this plug/ wire is for? I think its for the reversing light but cant be sure. Its white/ purple and black. Im hoping the plug might give it away. Its not the best photo but its a round rubber male plug with two round pins.

Also i have the twin spade plugs for the right hand side light but theres nothing in the right wing for that light. Does it come from the loom or is it piggy backed off the right hand light with a seperate pair of wires. Its been so long now since i stripped it.

I suspect the first one is a connector for a fuel pump for a V8, should the loom have been put in a V8.
I put the same question on LZ years ago and I'm pretty sure that's what @jamesmartin reckoned it would be IIRC. Mines still tucked up behind the rear cross member.

Purple should be a live, like the one at the rear of the vehicle used for the towing electrics. I’m not sure what it’s for at the front. My 92 200tdi doesn’t have it.

The round plug at the top, I think, is for the fuel level sender. At least that’s what my purple/white went to.

Edit: looked a bit closer at the second photo. My horn wire has a grommet on it just like yours. I think it may well be the horn wires. It should pass through the wing, around 1” below the slam panel.
