Bed Wiring Problem

Ok, so I am putting a new harness on the bed of my 78, but I am not sure which wire does what. Sorry for ignorance.

So, the truck has 4 wires coming off of it.
Brown
Green
Yellow w/Black Stripe
Black w/Red Stripe

The harness has 5, but one is obviously a ground.
Black - Ground
Brown - Marker(? Harness didnt come with sidemarker connections, so idk what they mean by marker)
Yellow - Left turn signal/brake
Green - Reverse
Dark Green - Right Turn Signal/brake


So I just need to know how these connect.

Here's what the factory wiring diagram says:
Blk/rd= backup lights
Black= side marker, tag lights (on styleside)
Brown=tail lights, tag light (on flareside)
green= RH stop and brake
Yellow/blk= LH stop and brake

Wire colors coming from the truck:

BROWN: running light circuit
YELLOW with BLACK stripe: driver-side stop/turn
GREEN: passenger-side stop/turn
BLACK with RED stripe: backup lamps

EDIT: Mike beat me to it; my internet is slow right now.
