The secondaries (the windings on the low voltage side) will be very thick wire so the low resistances you see for Tony's tests may not be unusual.

Picking up on what you said earlier, the snipped red wire...

It's not too obvious where that is on your original picture so could we have a closer shot of that snipped wire and also shots of the wiring on the other side of the transformer and the general area around where the mains wiring comes in, the on-off switch, the fuse holder, the mains filter if there is one - that will be a metal can with 4 wires going to it, probably two blue and two black, if it is fitted.
