I have been unable to see how to take this seacock apart to service it - any ideas what it is and how I service it?

There are 2 - inlet and outlet for heads.

Non serviceable. Just make sure it turns freely. It is a ball valve with the ball probably running in a nylon insert. If you do replace it make sure that you buy a proper bronze or DZR, not a brass one. You will know the difference by the price - much more than a tenner. Vetus current price about £26 for Brass and £92 for Bronze both 1 1/2 inch size. Should last a lifetime in leisure use!

These are standard nickel plated brass ball valves as sold by any chandlery. HOWEVER, they are almost certainly made of BRASS so can dezinctify. You can get better quality BRONZE/DZR ball valves from ASAP Supplies but they are about 3 times the price!
Again, if you are prepared to change the ball valves every few years, you can usually get away with the standard nickle plated brass ball valves. If you remove the ball valve you will find that they can be dismantled by unscrewing but I don't think you will be able to do any 'servicing' as such.
 
Make sure that it does actually open/close. I found one of mine where the drive spindle end had broken off. The handle turned through 90degrees and the ball stayed where it was. I've since replaced it with a stainless steel one and checked all the others!
