Yes, correct for the orange and white. In the schematic I posted, the map lights ground is switched to the metal body of the lights which in turn is grounded to the vehicle body. But it looks like the lamp body of yours is plastic.
You would have to rewire your unit like this and then the red is constant 12 volt, the white (dome ground) to the light switch / door switches. And the black to vehicle ground. So then all the lamps will have power to them all the time, with the dome will work as normal and the reading lamps turn on when switched on (to ground).
