The end goal is to have the pins inside the 3-core connectors to have a common, shared implementation -- regardless of the color of wires that are used in the pigtails, or the type of chips and pixels that connect via the conductors. With a common definition for these pins, you can swap ANY SSC with any kind of string, and using any color system that Ray throws at us -- and it should all work.
I can take some new pictures to illustrate that point when I'm home tonight.
Since the SSC is constant , and the solder points never change despite V1, V2, V2, and V4 implementations -- you only need to match up the color for the pigtail that you are using at the time for the female connector.
However, with differing light types -- and changing wiring that the manufacture sometimes throws at us, it is necessary to choose the right pigtail to node wiring... it is here where "adjustments" are made to bring it all into conformance.
If you have old male and old female pigtails and connect them together -- there is no cross-over. the red wire on one side will come out as red on the other.
If you have new male and new female pigtails and connect them -- again, no cross over. The yellow/green on one site will come out as yellow-green on the other.
If you mix old and new pigtails, the red on one end will come out as yellow-green on the other.
