I think this is the same as the US 20MT. The top batteries are wired in series to make 12 volts, and the bottom are wired in series to make 12 volts. Hope you have at least the boots on the long battery cables to show you what is posotive and negative.

There is a short cable between the top and bottom batteries. Truck has four 6 volt batteries. this is not too detailed. I hope it is enough to figure it out.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
