VCG Wiring question

Smelled burnt wires, replacing the VCG on my 96 7.3 on passenger side.Glow plugs were OK. Bought kit to to replace burnt connector and ended up break a second wire. I got tired of trying to work with the short wires and bought a pigtail kit from Napa. So here is my problem, I took all five wires out of the old connector and now second guessing myself

on order they go back in. The pigtail has five wires-
A-black - Brown wire from harness
B-brown
C-orange
D-yellow
E-black- Brown wire from harness
I know that the two brown wires in the harness are glow plug and go to A & E. Can anyone confirm where orange, tan with black tracer, tan with red tracer goes?
I have looked online for an hour with no results-Thanks

Look on the other side and see how it is wired.

Just so I am clear, you are referring to the good connector? I thought about doing it but assumed it would be different color wire. I will go check, Thanks

I think they are the same. If they are, work left to right with the pig tail. NAPA has the code in the box, atleast mine did.

Colors on the other connector are different - example to glow plug wires are brown instead of black. Pigtail from Napa can in clear plastic wrapper with no instructions.
