Can anyone provide some info on standard temp gauge wiring, fuel gauge wiring, fuel light wiring?

I am at the last stage of 1992 defender rebuild, back to original spec, removing the V8 holden, swaping with original 200tdi, swaping gearbox, transfer, and returning everything back to original, and replace/repair original components so it can pass a roadworthy.
Almost there, just need to sort out gauges, do they need to be earthed?
is the green wire the power to both gauges?
is green/blue the temp sender wire?
colour of fuel sender wire?
orange fuel light seems to be on all the time?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks Dervish, have all gauges working correctly, bad earth was the issue.
