Rewiring humbucker switch

Hello, 
I want to change the wiring of the switch for a humbucker from series/single/parallel to single-coil/parallel/other-coil. 
It is an on/on/on switch. I cooked up the right diagram in the picture (left is current wiring). Is it correct?

There is no 'standard' for On On On switches, and no standard for wiring colour on a humbucker, so hard to say.

Can make an assumption based on your diagram on the left that red is hot, black is ground and white and green are the other ends of the coils, but without knowing for definite  it could be wrong.

Most On/On/On switches are set up like this, aren't they?

Assuming that the RED and WHITE are the hot outputs from each coil, and H is the signal output the the jack socket then I can't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

From the current wiring, I deduced that it must be type 2.
