The keyword is the wire color coding "Yellow" and "Blue" . Other newer models came with solid yellow and solid blue while the older models came with stripe color codes of Brown-Yellow and Brown-Blue. Note the Yellow and Blue are still around.
In the paper that came with the stator, it indicates the Brown-Blue wire tied together and connected to the terminal board only to the #1-#2 CD Module (the numbers are the cylinder number it feeds or connects to). However, it also shows this specific terminal is NC (normally closed or connected to the bus of the terminal board). Meaning if you read continuity between the #4 terminal (where the brn-blu wire is connected) and #2 terminal of the terminal board there should be continuity.
The connections of the brown-yellow wires with the CD modules is interchangeable because all the stator does is to provide constant AC voltage to the modules. But for clarification if the wires are labeled just follow the numbering in the diagram.
Another option if you are in doubt, if there are four wires (6 wires including the rectifier wires) coming out of the stator, just connect them individually, i. e., Brown-Yellow #4 wire to #3 CD Module Brown-Yellow wire and then Brown-Yellow wire #2 to #1 & #2 CD Module Brown-Yellow wire.
And you can do the same with the brown-blue wires (as shown in the stator drawing). Connecting the brown-blue wires individually with the brown-blue wires of the CD modules will not make a difference.
As for the rectifier, you can connect either way. The only thing to look for is the tach meter wire (I believe its gray) which sometimes needs to be oriented to one of the wires depending on your rectifier type. Goodluck.
