The charge light wire from altenator is brown / yellow.
The charge light has 2 positive feeds brown/yellow from altenator and white from battery.
The Green/Black is the fuel gauge.

Just looked at pics of your car and you seem to have a green wire at the altenator, I suspect this is green/blue for the temperture sender on the head behind the coil.

Would the Aus Minis have a different colour scheme?

As a member of the commonwelth I would doubt it. British motor manufactures agreed a common colour code system many years ago.
