I may be wrong, but I've always seen (rural) service roads as (typically 
relatively short) access ways which lead to a particular place like a technical 
plant (watertreatment, power/telco something), some business (restaurant etc) 
and not beyond. Ways with a lot of crossings/bifurcations won't be service 
roads because they will serve some collecting/distribution/through traffic 
function  that goes beyond access to one or two sites.

I think I'd tag your ways as unclassified lanes=1 if they were used by locals 
to get from one village to the other and were publicly accessible. When their 
only purpose is access to fields/forest (and relatively short distances) I'd 
use track & appropriate tracktype and surface tags. If the distances get very 
long I'd again use unclassified.

cheers
