Highly unlikely as most car wiring harnesses have to meet BS-AU7a 1983

Try here.. Vehicle Wiring Colour Code

You could always disconnect the plug that goes onto the light bulb and use a multimetre to see which terminal becomes live when you put the high beam on.

all of them.

I didn't know there were any..

ffs the BS number goes back to 1983 it may well have superceeded an earlier BS number. I think it's safe to assume a few cars have been made in the UK since then.
