UV cable to SEC - house to garage feed. At garage back to UV cable to inside. Just electrical tape splice at one end. Can UV cable be installed with sheathing cut back from the conductors?

Is that UF? 340.12 (1) not permitted to be used as SE cable.

Not being used as service entrance cable. It's being used as a feeder to an overhead line to garage.
Although the bare ground in it should not be used as a neutral conductor, but we cant see how the other end is connected.
 
Sorry hard to tell from the pic looked like it was spliced into the service. So it runs up the side of the house and splices into messenger wire

2nd picture (apparently the separate structure end) one of the insulated conductors is wrapped in white tape for some distance at the end. My guess it is being identified as the grounded conductor and there is only 120 volts to this structure.
 
1st pic is at the house - UV feeder from main panel up to service mast (gray cable) - splices in SEC - cuts over roof to garage - 2nd pic shows connections at the garage

See-see said the blind man.
I'd guess the same.
