R56 Seats in a R53

First time poster here I am sure this has been addressed but I have been searching and there are so many posts I can't seem to find what I need.

I have a 2006 S which came with Racing bucket seats. I bought 2007 R56 seats. I found a trashed set of seats from another R53 and pulled the wiring off the seats. My issue is I need to cut the Airbag connector off the new seat and attach the old seats connector to match the car. The issue is the colors don't match. I need to know what wires should be plugged into which one.
R53 Wiring is Black/White stripe and Purple/White Stripe
R56 is Yellow and Brown

I don't want to plug these in wrong and trigger the airbags and destroy my seats.
