Anthes 153 turn signal wiring help request

I recently acquired a 55 Cameo and the wiring is a mess.
Two of the turn signal wires are disconnected and I want to wire it up correctly.
The white wire was connected to switch power on ignition.
The Green and Red wires were cut.
The Black wire goes to the turn signal switch as does the Yellow one.
The Yellow wire appears to only power a small light bulb.
The Black wire goes to the constant contact strip so regardless of where the turn signal lever is positioned, it is always making contact.

Based on studying the internals of the switch, I've figured out that the green wire is for right signal and red is for left.

How do I make these wires connected so that everything works as it should?

My park lights are 1156 so can I assume that the truck never had front turn signals? How can I make them turn signals leaving the 1156 bulbs in as I suspect? I can imagine that a park light that "flashes" on/off serves as a turn signal, even in the dark with headlights on.

I also need to know how the flasher gets wired into all this... I struggle at times with wiring as it's not my strong suit.

Thanks in advance guys.
