One of those bottom 4 terminals is your "common" terminal. Whichever one it is, it will be the one that has continuity with the other 3 terminals in all 3 positions. That wire goes to the mains switch.

The remaining 3 go to your 120, 220 and 240 taps. Use your meter to find out which terminal has continuity with the "common" terminal to know which on the switch is the 120, 220, and 240, then match up the colors of your PT with those terminals.
