Prelim North Korean "Mr Peanut" Arm, Fuze, Firing wiring connections diagram. Descriptions in morning. @srianjalidevi75 @ArmsControlWonk

Front of AFF canister
Note that there exist a number of higher resolution photos I can't freely redistribute. I will cite what I can tomorrow.
Note that apparently there's a white wire from AFF 3 (coming up out of cannister) to back of raised connector AFF 6. I don't know why jumper
AFF 1 is connector with large white cables bundle, that splits to 4 groups of 3 (?) wires into physics case. Likely detonator feeds.
AFF 2 is red plug over a connector, not clear which cable.
AFF 3 is where white cable emerges, goes into pack of AFF 6 connector. No idea yet why jumper cable like that.
AFF 4 large bundle of black, yellow, & red cables. Yellow appear to go to: two BARO sensors on "Box"; connector on back of box. 2 wires ea?
AFF 4 Red & black to the bundle looped over side, multiple connectors.
AFF 5 sources 2 grey cables that join the bundle from 4.
As mentioned 6 is the jumper connection for the white cable that comes up at 3.
I believe the black external thing on the main Peanut physics package is the External Neutron Initiator tube. Its cable loops around, ...
...then the ENI cable ends in connector and bracket that just lies amongst AFF 1 white detonator cable entrances into bomb package.
I believe it's just lying there for show and connects to AFF 6 and thence to AFF 3 when wired.
I suspect some of the black/red/grey bundles and connectors jumper the remaining unconnected AFF 2 and BOX 2 connectors.
I think one will jumper a lower lobe of bomb package Boost gas package/valve to AFF 2, but that's a guess. That Boost gas component missing
There's a cover or port for a boost gas unit down there (I think).
The BOX (whatever it is) BOX 2 connector may feed to AFF cannister or to an external antenna. Can't tell.
Rest of Grey/Black/Red probably external connectors to RV body, missile guidance system.
Possibly Batteries out on RV rear body, etc. as well as data, signals.
Eventually I will trace out all the cables and put more detailed diagrams out. Making those traces and making thfm human readable takes time
Taking a step back... I was looking for signs this was a mockup, pure test unit, incomplete. Did not find many. Little parts missing only.
We'll, little parts and the boost gas package. But nothing else. Wiring harnesses not fully mapped but plausibly complete.
Oh, in Red/Black/Grey cable bundle, I'm pretty sure blue cable ties were added for the visit to clean up loose bundle. Rest look permanent.
