Your telephone is actually a 304 and not a 302.

A 304 was used for certain party line services and has a B2A ringer that has a split winding. Therefore the ringer has four leads coming out of it. The phone may still be wired for this service and that won't work for modern lines.

Here is a diagram and discussion of this:

There is also some mentioning on wiring this phone for modern lines (bridged ringing).

You have a wire connected to the M terminal on the induction coil. That will go someplace else, if you look at the diagram.
