VW used brown for all the grounds, thruout the car. It may be a DIN 
standard (for cars) but I'm not sure about that.

BTW, VW didn't have most of those ground wires prior to the '69 model 
year. The only ones used in the early years were those that were 
absolutely necessary, such as for the ground pin of each headlight 
and maybe the gas gauge cluster ground. The generator and VR got 
their grounds thru their mountings.
