Left side tail light

I have a new left side light fixture with these wire numbers on it.

first wire....483, 484, 20
second wire....460, 461
third wire.... 491

I think these numbers are for a later vehicle with turn signals.

Can anyone tell me which wire should be marked as 21 , 22, & 24

I'm probably looking at this too simply and you probably already know this but,

21 service tail
22 Service stop
23 blackout stop (not on left hand lamp)
24 blackout marker

Now I don't have anything for wires
first wire....483, 484, 20
second wire....460, 461
third wire.... 491
as when I looked at my M35 I don't have those numbers on the harness.
Is it possible to earth the light then systematically connect up the known wires on your harness and figure out what they light up on your new lamp?
All the best,
Dave.

second wire....460, 461 = 22
third wire.... 491 = 21

Thank you Wes, I figured someone must have run into this situation.

Those numbers all appear in the standardized M series wire number list. Makes it easy to determine each wire's function.
