Repairing HKN6183A Serial Cable

Someone has tripped over my cable and ripped the serial D connector end of the cable out of the little housing on the mic connector end of the cable. I've popped the cover apart and see that I need to solder the green, purple and red wires back on to the correct pads on the circuit board. The trouble is, I can't tell which colour goes on which pad. Does anyone here know?

Gonna bring this back to life. Had a similar thing happen although the breakage is on the GCAI connector
instead of the RS232D connector. There does not seem anyway to repair it - seems as if it was machined
together on both ends. I would post a pic but i have no way to do that. The IT dept here blocks all image
websites.

Why don't you just make a serial cable to go on the accessory cable connector and not worry about the mic connector.

That would be because i have a fleet of these radios that are almost all buried in Troy consoles and the required
CPS change should only take about 2 or 3 minutes via the mic GCAI connector and you have to remove the radio
from the consoles to use your method so that is highly undesireable.
