Aaah, I'm betting Hazy is right on. You won't see the armored cable from inside the box, only the old wires sticking out of it. When you said you couldn't see it behind the outlets I figured you had access to see the connection from an open cavity in the wall.

And older homes didn't have the wiring run through the basement. It was always run up through the attic and down into the wall studs to the receptalces, usually from the light fixtures which served as the junction boxs.

Course if these receptacles are supplied via Knob and Tube wires then that's a different story.
