For what it's worth, the '65 owner's manual shows these colors for the leads
on the trailer side. My '65 Caravel was wired exactly like this, but I
wouldn't take it as gospel. Over the years, previous owners may have
rewired the connector using different colors. I suggest you only use this
as a starting point, and test each lead with a battery before connecting it
to the new style connector with standard configuration.
This is the trailer side view of the old the old style connector with 7
round pins. The groove (or ridge) on the plug housing is between 4 and 3.
