Yup, sure do. Check here:

Also click on "NOTES". Six ways to connect three wires. Five ways will
malfunction, and four ways will blow a fuse.

So far so good. "E" is for "Earth", and ground wires are all black. The
#2 terminal will take the green wire, hot from the switched fuse. The #1
terminal takes the black/green wire, which goes to the screenwiper switch
and from there on to ground.

Yes. But I have no idea where your diagram gets "red" for the wipers. The
only red wires in the MGA are in the unfused lighting circuit (and there
are plenty of them there), feeding the parking lights, dash lights, map
light, and power to the fog light switch. No other red wires anywhere in
the car, not even any red stripes.
