Need Original Wiring for Gibson Sonex with Coil Tap Switch

Hi. I am writing my 80' Gibson Sonex Custom with coil tap back to it original wiring. 

Years ago when I got it for my 16th birthday, I made my own pickguard and hooked it up with CTV push pulls.

Now all these years later, I'd like to put it back stock. No 50s, no modern, no modification totally stock.

I figure it will make a nice Christmas present for my grandson and I am trying to get it set back in time. I still have the original parts, just in prices as they were used in other projects as a kid.

There's not a correct diagram anywhere. I managed to put 100 picture together that I've found and almost complete have a diagram that I've made.

The biggest problem that I is the white wire coming back from the jack. In all the pics, it seems to do a loopty loop and disappears and possible comes out as a red and white wire or both? I really can't tell because of how Gibson spliced it. It dosent appear to be as you would expect and that wire run to the 3 way center.

I'm totally baffed and dont know if what I've done so far is right.

Hoping someone is working on a Sonex with the coil tap who can tap me some pics and pear into Gibson's little splice at the loopty loop in the middle coming back from the jack or have some time to check how theirs goes

Any help is greatly appreciated here
