Having just found the spool they are
orange/white, white/orange, blue/white, white/blue

Can't see that being anything other than UK telephone cable.

I just stripped back 2m and no twists evident.

The twists on older telephone cable are pretty gentle. I've got some 10
pair stuff where 5 use red as one colour, 5 white. And then 5 colours to
identify the others, but obviously related to the red or white other.
And you've got to be careful to pick the correct pair - I usually strip
back about 1 metre to make sure.
