Hard to say exactly, but one possibility is this:

The lines are wired in the NID outside. You'll see a test jack. Plug in a phone and determine which line is which by whatever method you can come up with.

Then transfer the disconnected lines wires, red/green screws to the other red/green screws keeping the colors the same. Whatever color wire that was on a red screw goes to a red screw.

There are other possibilities, but this seems more likely.
