On mine, the brown connector is connected straight to the bulb holder. Mine hasnt been changed. Just saying how it should be set up, as for anything else i dont know?
EDIT: also just noticed its morrettes so dont know if its different

The bulb is a 501 wedge bulb mate in an old indicator connector in your pic but its not the usual setup.Pugs have these as standard and in morettes dont they?
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIL..._500wt_969
They arent orig morette parts though but looks like someone has had different connections in the past and bodged it.These will do.

The originals should look like the connector in the pic below (far left/2 green wires)
