Fuel pump connection pinout?

Fuel pump connection pinout?
Car is stock S5 N/A.
S4 fuel tank/pump/assembly
Dont have a S5 tank or pump assembly right now but do have a S5 pump laying around.
Plug the S4 fuel pump into the harness and the car ran(even tho the colors didn't match up on the harness plug)
Question 1: Is it OK to run my car like this?
Question 2: What pinouts do i need to change for my fuel gauge to work again?
Thanks for any input. - Nick

It should be fine to work as it is, has your fuel level ever worked previously? The details are below:
S5
Two blue/green coming from the FP relay, which are spliced together
W/R goes to the low fuel light in the idiot cluster
W/G goes to the level sender
S4
Two blue coming from the FP relay, splice together
W/R goes to the fuel warning light
W/G goes to the sender
Doh, damn editing for the connectors didn't work out so well.

ok on the s4 pump the red is power, the black is ground, leaving w/r and w/g to be the gas gauge or the low fuel sensor. Its cut off in my copy of the FSM I'll get another copy and get back to you.
Looks like someone beat me to it, I would try switching the bottom two based of what you said about the behavior of the instruments.

There shouldn't be any difference in the sending units themselves, they return very similar Ohm values, and the gauges display similarly based upon those. I've attatched the FSM diagrams for this as well, so you can check the resistance. To check, just get a multimeter set to ohms, ground the negative lead and connect the other lead to the W/G.

I mentioned that in the post, the W/G wire with the positive lead, and the other is grounded. I don't know how else you'd be able to check without a multimeter other than pulling the unit out by hand and testing the gauge values at the different positions of the swing arm
