Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel

The Denon DL103R is a fine value and a fine cartridge. The all Japanese instructions with only black and white illustrations leave me without a clue as to the correct wiring assignments for the cartridge clip connectors. I cannot note any colouring on the cartridge I have.

This is a grovel for basic help!

I went back and got a better look with a magnifying glass. Looking from the back at the pins, R is on the right. Backed up by Tom's clarification, I guess I got the wiring correct.

I'm still confused about the HFNRR channel test and I can't find an explaination in the notes on the cover.
