The trailer wiring you have represents two very common color standards.
green will be right turn/stop
white is ground
yellow is left turn stop
brown is running light
The new wires that have brown and yellow or green are the running light circuit but designated to either side of the trailer. The green and brown is for the right side and yellow and brown is for the left side.
