This photo shows the rubbing on the casing. The wire on the right has rubbed through to the core in one place.

I looked at other photos of those motors. They have some weird method of soldering the phase wires to each other, like they wound every pole separately, then joined the wires.. The others were neater, but the same solder everywhere.agreed, but it may not have left the factory like that though.
It looks like someone has tried to repair it and didn't do a very good soldering job so he could have cut the sleevings, strings and pulled/creased the wires.
He should at least clean the burn marks.
