Does anyone have a picture they can post or explain proper spring placement for '38 mechanical brakes?

Just went to change front wheel grease seals and realizing the springs are put on differently compared to the back and different from one another. I took picture from before I touched anything and it's not been correct since previous owner....

I have red and black upper, orange and green lower and the return spring. Assuming red above orange and black above green but which combo goes on return spring side?
