Those should be for the Sirius radio Tuner.

Yep. That or HD radio maybe?

I don't see any fiber connections there and it looks like 2 antenna connections?

I removed my rear cover to take a look and the closest I could find that resembles the wires you have is a little square box, that has to antenna wires and a small plug with a couple small wires. It looks like it could be an antenna amplifier.
