Hi Dave, according to my 1965 230 SL, the fuel sender unit has three 'posts',  the fourth one being a guide for the cable connector. The cable colours as described by you are correct with the exception of your red cable which should be brown.  The brown cable indicates 'earth' and connects to your upside wifi symbol.  The blue/black cable connects to 'W' and the blue/green to 'G'.
You might also want to have a look in the Technical Manual of this website under Fuel System - Fuel Tank - Fuel Sender Unit for some very valuable information.
