Wiring for turn signal switch at steering column for 1972 145 140-160 1972

Could someone help me get my wires for my lights and turn signals back on their respective posts?

A theif/vandal yanked them out and I don't know which color wire goes to which post. A photo or small drawing sent to cameron_photo@mac.com would be sufficient.

Again this is for a 1972 145E

Thanks

Brown to 31
Blue to R

I have a 72 manual that gives a diagram but it needs to be wall-size to
be easy to read. I suspect that my 69 164 might have the same color code.
Would you like me to check or see if I can get a blown-up view of the manual
page?

I have the manual. The problem is it isn't easy to understand.

Showing me exactly what color goes to which post using an easy to understand drawing or photo, would be much more effective.

I will try the combo from the first response, but I believe there are more loose wires than they have indicated. I need a drawing or photo of the entire module - including the high beam switch, turn signals etc.

Thanks for you help.

Tough to get a clear picture close up, but maybe this can help.
It is from my '72.
Edit: After posting, I didn't realize how lousy the photo is.
I'll follow up with a layout later.

Edit part 2.

Looking at the back of the switch ie. front of the car looking rear....
There are three rows and three columns

left / middle / right

2- lt green piggybacked / green / nothing

yellow / nothing / nothing

2 - lt blue piggybacked / blue / red

Hope this helps
