Default 1957 Star Chief - Neutral Safety Switch Help

Hi,

It's warm again in Toronto and my 57 Star Chief is back in the open air. My task is to continue wiring the car. At this point, I've followed the wiring diagram in my Shop Manual, and the only thing I can't figure out is where the pink and purple wires from the neutral safety switch connect to.

Picture attached. Any advice is helpful.

Canadian spec car or US? Definitely a Pontiac engine.

I don't have a wiring diagram to look at, but one goes to the "sol" lug on the ignition switch and the other goes to the "S" stud on the starter solenoid.
