Power seat id and wiring

Hiya folks, got everything else on my van done, so now I'm moving to the next fun project, installing new seats.
First off, I need positive ID of these seats. They were supposedly from a Dodge Ram (unknown gen), but browsing eBay I only see these (or similar) seats as being from a Dodge Durango. The tag glued to the seat has a non-Chryser number (the dealer couldn't ID them), but is embroidered with the RAM logo on the headrest and has a date code of late 2000. Here's the seats

I am looking for the schematics that would go with these seats, as I am installing them in my 98 B1500. They are leather instead of vinyl and they recline, making them a HUGE upgrade over the stock torture racks. I removed the power seat base, and noticed that these seats take 3 plugs. 2 on the power rack, and a third on the seat itself. There is an additional plug, but it goes from the power rack to the seat with a 2 wire plug, and relatively thick wires. I'm thinking that the 2 wire plug is for lumbar support, and that the 4 wire plug on the seat itself is for heated seats.
Can anyone confirm this? Here's a couple pictures of the seat wiring.

Yes, that is the seat frame that accompanies the seat.
Wiring harness on frame has Chrysler number 56049022AA. The dealer I called said that none of the other numbers conform to the Chrysler number standards.
I've been browsing the Durango section since I got off work tonight, and all the threads I've seen so far related to power seats or heated seats and the pictures within would seem to indicate that I do indeed have power heated seats from a Durango. Looks like I'll have to hit the local junkyard and pull the full harnesses so that I can wire these in. It would be nice to use the full power function, but the power slider bases raise the seats too far to be useful. I'm gonna reuse my old manual sliders. Lumbar and heat are plenty enough power options for me

Much appreciated for the link! I found the appropriate manual with wiring diagrams, and plan to use them when I install the seats and harvest the harnesses from a junkyard Durango.
I looked through the FSM diagrams, but there's one thing I couldn't find. Does anyone have a color key for the wire colors? some are obvious like bk is black, wt is white, lg/dg is light/dark green, but I'm afraid a couple have me feeling a little stupid. VT, TN, I can only assume these equal violet and tan? I won't have a chance to look over a full harness until I can get to the junkyard next week, but I'd like to be prepared when I go.
Thanks again guys!
