There's a pic. Sorry some of the wire colors aren't exactly as they should be, but it's close enough to distinguish. The PWM cables go off to the RC, and the others go to our power distro.

Look closely at the board and notice that there are numbers printed near the ribbon cable pins. Here is a pinout of that:

1 12v Brown
2 12v Red
3 Gnd Orange
4 Gnd Yellow
5 Out2 Green
6 Out1 Blue
7 Out3 Purple
8 Out0 Gray

i see on your image that the black (GND) wires in the PWM cables are running to something, am i correct in saying they are running to the negative on the din rail power distro block?
