AE Monophone and 4 wire Condenser

 I'm working on an AE 40, a newer model with a 4 wire condenser (AE YS). The color wires have faded and I cannot tell the colors. I made the mistake of not drawing the original wiring out first.  Now I cannot remember where the wires go. Can anyone help?  I can tell the black cord and it goes to 3, but need help with the others. Thanks

Here is a wiring diagram from the TCI Technical Library for the AE 40

These diagrams can be frustrating so if you need an easier description, I may have my notes from an AE 40 I recently worked on.  I did make a diagram of the wires.  I have found that two phones that both work may be wired differently.

If this doesn't do it for you (the schematic) I'll get the diagram I made.

Thank you for your help. I have the drawing. My problem is the 4 wire condenser. Black goes to 3, Brown -white goes to T, Green goes to 4 and brown goes to L1. My problem is I can only tell the color of one wire. The condenser is 4 wire 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. On the phone I'm working on the black wire is the bottom position towards the edge. I cannot tell the colors of the other 3 wires.
