Richard:

Thanks for the reply!  Other than my #3 terminal wire being black, things
are exactly the same!

Part of the reason I figured the wire coming out of this terminal was
"non-stock" was that the wire was very poorly attached to the connector.
But maybe a PO just managed to tear out the original brown wire and came up
with this.

Thanks again!
