Default '70 Light Switch Wiring Question

Still trying to find the elusive "ghost" in my wiring. Looking at the plug-in connector for the light switch, can someone tell me if there are two brown wires going to the same terminal, or should they go to two different terminals. All my wiring diagrams look like they go to two different terminals(right next to each other). I cannot tell because my copies of the wiring diagram have been photocopied over and over again.
Thanks,
-Dan

This is from memory(which can be faulty). My '72 diagram shows a common power feed that bridges over to the other side for the low beams, and a separate power feed for each high beam. So you could have the two high beam wires in the same terminal. I will have to check the manual when I get home later tonight, as I can't remember the colors.

Thanks GACRZR,

Mine also.

I will update my wiring diagram to reflect this.
