Looks like it was stripped with a pocket knife. I don’t think that is a soldered connection. I have never made one but I’m guessing those wires were supposed to be tinned to be used in that plastic connector which would most definitely be cheaper and faster done automatically, by several orders of magnitude. Though the size of those wires vs the size of those hole don’t look like any amount of solder going to help.
