Not sure if this will help you out or not but I took some pictures of the cables associated with the steering column on my '76 when I had the column out.... here's a link to the pics:

I didn't trace where all the wires go. But possibly this will help.
Don't forget that the standard (non-adjustable) column switches and the T&T column switches work in opposite directions. So the schematic is correct for both switches, you just have to turn the picture 180 degrees for one or the other.
