'74 oil temp gauge

I'm looking at the wiring to the oil temp / pressure gauge on the dash.

I have green wire that was not connected.

The connections looking at the gauge from the drivers seat with gauge in dash.
Starting from the right at the pressure gauge.
green/red
brown (at bottom middle blade)
red/black (hot wire)

then the temp gauge
red/black (hot wire)
no wire to the top middle blade
green/black

The middle blade on both sides is the ground (brown wire) but only one is connected. I assume they both ground to the gauge body so only one is needed?
Should the green wire that is loose in the dash be connected?

The 1973.5 Wiring Diagram should be the same:

Looking at the diagram, it looks like a spare wire.

Green is a Spare wire unless you have a sportomatic transmission.
