Default A question about these 2 plugs,1981

Anybody know where these 2 plugs belong? I had the interior out of my 81 and can’t remember where these go. The green/green plug comes off the radio harness for the front speakers but can’t find where it would got. This orange/brown plug is long enough to go to the rear storage bin area,could these wires be for the optional power mirrors? Thanks for any tips,greatly appreciated

Did you mean to attach some photos of the plugs?

The power windows on my 82 have a flat plug with 3 holes and they plug right into the switch. Can't remember that second plug. I assume the speaker plugs into the back of the radio?

Power window switch and plug.
