Also the pic with the purple wire connector is for the clutch safety switch mounted on the pedal support.

Kevin, thank you. I just uploaded 2 more photos

OK, the number of pins match mine, but I am not seeing the red common wire in position C or the brown wire in position F. Do I see cut wires there?

Here is a pic of mine:

I do see some wires were cut under the dash. I will have to trace them back.

Would that mean the car was console with gauges?

its looking likely. Does the car have a tach in the dash? And clock in the center over the steering column? They were part of the gauge package with a console.

Strange thing is I have tachometer but gas gauge in the middle. Not sure if the gas gauge is original in the middle

[KevinW]

Gas gauge in the center was a separate gauge package when a console was NOT ordered. The console connector would not have been there at all with that order. Someone changed something!

You need to trace the gas gauge wiring to see if looks factory or has been messed with.

I’ll get under the dash and start tracing the lines. I have the Classic Wiring diagram which I just got

That's not correct.
U16 was the tach-only option. The gas gauge was in the center. The console was optional. I've seen many cars with a console and U16.
U17 was tach and gauges. Tach and clock in the cluster, gauges on the console. Console was required.

Agreed, something has been changed here.

Kurt, Thanks for keeping me honest.
