Spooky notice the 3rd cross section down on your photos, that is the exact umbilical cited in an article about the Shell BC-10 project in Brazil.
I recognized it by the number of copper conductors for the pumps down below and the steel strands to support the weight of the copper.

"Deep Down received an order from Oceaneering International for bend stiffener latchers for the Shell BC-10 project, further illustrating our support of operations in Brazil "

Here is another posting

"Even though these umbilicals will be larger than usual, Shell wants to make them as compact as possible because of allowable weight restrictions off the vessel. Said von Tungeln: “We’re limited on both weight constraints on the FPSO and on the number of I-Tubes. We’ve got multiple fields, so we’ve got to minimize the amount of risers we have hanging off the FPSO. So, we try to pack as much as possible into each umbilical.”

von Tungeln and Driver also have a clear idea of what will be required from a design and qualification point of view. “The design has to be capable of holding the weight of the large copper elements that will provide the high voltage power,” von Tungeln continued. “Copper is not able to hold its own weight, particularly in ultradeep water.”

The BC-10 development will be the first full field development based on subsea oil and gas separation and subsea pumping. BC-10 technology requirements also include artificial deepwater lift via high power electric pumps in seabed caissons and horizontal wells. The double-sided FPSO includes in its design significant power and heat delivery systems that are required to drive the system and process the heavy crudes that range from 16 to 24 degrees API.

Yep! Good pics there S42A!!!

the second one is a common Subsea Tree Control umbilical.... See the wires, there are 2 pair in each cable. Very typical for a SCM <Subsea Control Module> on most Trees. Then you have LP and HP control fluid lines. <low pressure/high pressure>
