DFF3D transducer wiring

I am connecting a 165T/275LHW transducer to a DFF3D. The DFF3D manual, drawing C1352-C01-H, calls for a cable with 9 wires. My transducer cable has 8 wires and they are different colours than in the DFF3D manual. See attached. The transducer cable has a label specifying the purpose of each wire but I can't find a cross reference to the correct terminals in the DFF3D.

Can you help with this? I need to know which terminal to connect the each wire to.

Flashman,

This transducer looks like it is just a straight B275LHW based on the wiring colors, and not for the 165T-275LHW.
It also looks like the label was removed from another correct transducer and re-stuck onto this B275LHW.

This current one in the picture provided above will not work with the DFF3D.
 
This is what I've got, see attached. It had better be a 165T275LHW, it's sikaflexed into a pocket in the hull now. hahaha

You got me thinking. I got the version with two sets of pigtails. I didn't check the other pigtail to see if they had been mislabeled. I'll check next time I'm at the boat later this week. That would be unfortunate becuase I've cut this cable short for the DFF3D location. It wouldn't make it to the MFD if it was labeled wrong and I have to swap cables.

I zoomed in on the photo of the transducer, it appears the labels on the transducer that show what location to terminate the wires is swapped. The one that says "Depth Finder" appears to be the wire colors for the DFF3D but i could to see the Green Wire to Verify. The one that is labeled "DFF3D" appears to be the B275 wires as Mr. Limpet suggested. I think you will be ok, i looks like the stickers got put onto the wrong set of wires?
 
Flashman,

I just opened a brand new 165T/275LHW Transducer and took a few pictures. This is what all the tags and wiring are supposed to labelled as:
