My Haynes and Workshop Manuals shows green and green/brown going to/from
the reverse light switch, and overdrive wiring of yellow from manual
switch to gearbox switch, and yellow/purple from there to the solenoid.
Also shows yellow and yellow black in the transmission control
spark advance circuit. Can't see a yellow/red anywhere, though.
