SD Humbucker 4 conductor wiring question (?)

I recently took apart an APH-1 Alnico II pro and "without thinking" took apart the four-conductor wiring and ground from the pickup. After a week, I'm looking at the leads coming from each of the single coils and see that they are one black and one white that I need to reconnect to the four color-coded wires that I initially removed.
The question being; From the 4 conductor wire; Are the red and green supposed to go the north 'slug' bobbin and the black and white to the south 'screw' bobbin?
I can find the wiring diagram online that indicates where each conductor is supposed to go, but I can't differentiate which wire from the bobbins is the start and which one is the finish. Black or white?
I can explain further if someone has an idea on this. Thanks for reading.
 
Really?
Still though; Both exiting wires from each individual single pickup are black and white. I'll need to know if either of these wires indicates the start or finish of the coil wrap process in order to solder on the 4 conductor wire. Or... if it makes any matter at all. ;)
 
Does this help?

shoulda paid more attention when you were taking it apart, shouldnt ya? :)

you should be able to tell just from looking at where the wire comes from on the coil. from the outside is finish, from the inside is start.

if you cant figure it out, i can check when i get home but i dont recall which is start and which is finish but they are consistent
 
Black to black, white to white on the slug coil. Red to white, and green to black on the screw coil.
 
Well, there you go!
I knew someone was going to know. Thank you Zheddar. Much appreciate everyone chiming in. This is as much as I need.
The coils are still wrapped so I think I don't need to unwrap and track it back to the coil start and finish based on your responses. I'll assume all SD buckers are this way.
Yeah, Jeremy; next time I'm taking pictures. :D
