From the look of the main colour and the 'trace' most of the traces are 'green'. The only main colour change of wire is the 'main' green which seems to replace the black.

The ground or 'earth' wire (colour) should be evident by looking at your WSM.
If it were mine I'd get hold of some thin gauge wire (label each colour) and wire it to the loom connections whilst it's off the car. (leave the switch on as you connect each wire and watch what happens)
There's nothing that delicate in the motor that won't let you know if you do a wire at a time and watch the result.

Note: The Black is the ground/earth wire. Check this with a multimeter set to OHMS (One probe on the wiper motor the other at the end of the wire) On your new wiper motor it may be the solid green wire. If so the rest are obvious.

I wouldn't guess Vee (I got your email ) I would remove the end casing and look at where the wires are connected as in the following picture and compare colour for colour

As vince says it seems logical from your list of colours the only odd one is substituting black for green as green is used as a tandem colour on existing wiring.

The other side of the coin is the supplier who is well known should have supplied you with the suitable wiring colour conversion info knowing the supplier I am sure if you get it wrong it will not be their fault

Hi John
Many thanks for your advise, I opened cover to match wires to car wiring but something still not quit right 
when the park switch comes in contact wipers move then stop but nothing from the wiper switch

Can you explain that a bit better vee

hi John 
I connected wires following inside the cover but it doesn't do anything from the wiper switch with ignition on 
the green and blue wires together have live feed with ignition on
if i keep the both brown/green and red/green wired and white/green wire disconnected with only blue/green connected
and test at white/green on wiring loom the test lamp comes on and off with wiper switch
what does that tell you

Good news Vee it could only be the wiring on the switch or the switch itself
