This is probably a fantastic guess, but ...
Is it possible that these are two plants? For example, the first plant (we see the leaves) and the second plant (we see the fruits).
The second plant may be Tinospora sinensis (T. malabarica).
This plant is a parasite that lives on another plant and at the expense of another plant. And this is a perennial creeper, which has a development cycle and loses leaves at a certain time.
It may not be visible in your photo, but maybe there are two kinds of branches. And the berries hang on old dry branches ...

Green Tara...many thanks for your help.Always appreciated.

After getting home and drawing a blank over the id, I did consider the possibility of 2 plants.
It is entirely possible, as my pics are nothing like clear enough to be sure.

This is a close up of Tinospora sinensis......the red berries are on quite long stalks.

Editing my pics the berries seem to be on short stalks...see below.
So not convinced that the mystery has been solved.
