The first picture shows the four tagged side of the transformer which is in fact the primary side. Despite the tag being ripped out it's still attached to the winding (I think) and should be OK. There should be a link between the two centre tags, but it looks like it may have been cut.

The secondary is the three tagged side. If there's no continuity between the three tags the transformer is open circuit.

Look at the service sheet top of chassis view and you'll see what I mean.
