Default V12 Ignition amplifier to distributor wire color

1985 Jaguar XJS V12: Months ago I replaced the 2 brittle wires and dirty female spade connectors going from the Ignition amplifier to a 2 pin plug, which is then wired to the side of distributor, passing in to the reluctor. I marked the wires with tape. Months later when I got back to the job, the tape had fallen off. I don’t know which wire goes to which terminal on the module’s male spades that exit the amplifier. One male spade is normal width and marked 'W', the other male next to it is narrow width and marked 'G'. The orientation of the module terminals exiting from the windshield side of the amplifier, are: the wider 'W' male spade is closest to the middle of the engine, and the narrowest of these 2 spades 'G' is closest to the air cleaner. The wires attached to the module were a faded red, and a faded blue. They connect to a 2 pin plug. The colors change in the plug, on their way to the reluctor, so that the red wire becomes a faded orange and the blue becomes a faded (or dirty) beige. The factory shop manual schematics does not help me ID these wires. A thorough Internet search doesn’t help either. Help!
