It sounds like you have a pretty standard wishbone trailer wiring harness and in which case, the wire colors are as follows:

green= right stop/turn
yellow= left stop/turn
green/brown= right running light
yellow/brown= left running light

The confusion for you is likely the two brown wires. If you are just installing a standard trailer connector like the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness part # HM38134 you would simply attach the green/brown and yellow/brown to the single brown wire at the connector.
