how do I know which wires are which? they are not red,blue &green like norm?

I need to change the ceiling lights for my old mum and have hit a snag.
Two lights, one room.
one has a black wire, a brown wire , a black with brown sleeve and a grey(cable like) wire
The other just has the black,brown and black/brown.

which is live? neutral? earth? and does the `grey` attach to one of the others?

Many thanks,
