Question on wiring harness

I just removed my flatbed and cut the wires going to the flatbed for the lighting and the trailer/gooseneck.
I've looked online and found conflicting diagrams on what the wires are for.
I have a 2017 F550 Cab Chassis.
I think:
ORANGE is constant hot?
BLUE something to do with the brake controller
BLUE/GREY no idea, break controller stuff?
YELLOW left turn signal
BROWN running lights
GREEN right turn signal
WHITE ground

Can anyone validate?
Thank you ahead of time.

Looking at my wiring manual I found the following color code consistent across all models:

If your truck has the trailer brake control module -

Blue - Trailer brakes
Orange - Trailer battery charge
Green - Right Stop / Turn Signal
Yellow - Left Stop / Turn Signal
Brown - Parking Lights
White - Ground

The only Blue / Grey wire referenced anywhere is for a 5th wheel or a trailer / camper adapter. In this instance it is a ground.

All of the various diagrams have a Blue / Brown wire for Reverse.
