Some of them look like a sure thing, some may require a little investigative work on your part. The "solids": Red to "R", green to "G", yellow to "Y1", white to "W2" (may require jumper to "E", stay tuned), orange to "O". The "iffies": Blue and brown. Here comes the "gumshoe" part: Locate where thermostat wires connect to indoor unit (if split-system) and note letter designation of terminals where blue and brown connect. If connections are not identified, some studying of the unit wiring diagram will reveal the answer. Post results.

Looks good, except... typically the white and brown are reversed.
