Default Lynx scout car wiring problems (Ford)

Thank you Peter Duggan for your lead to a new resistance/circuit box unit for my Canadian FORD lynx. The new old stock unit arrived today and I am rapt. I had tried to rebuild the 1943 unit without complete success.

I am in need of help to work out what goes where.

The Ford Lynx runs 3 different voltages. 12vols for the starter, generator, lights and radios from 2 x 6volt batteries. The resistance block then reduces the voltage to 6 volts for the gauges etc and then the voltage is further reduced to 4.6volts for the coil.

This is the wiring diagram from the manual which does not give a clear direction to or from the actual resistance/circuit breaker unit

This is the box as it arrived.

Thanks Rick.
