Yes, the other wire should be brown as in reda9x's pic, and is the wire to go to the coil/tacho. Flamenco: you didnt mention a brown?, anyway, there arent any other pink wires that make their way(legitimately) so we have the right one.
Interestingly, just looked at the gregory's diagram for the UC and they show all of this as one big 9 terminal connector, how confusing is that. Obviously the Lh was just a six terminal connector(and they had plenty left over) and went with those and an additional 3 way.
Re kick down switch, all traumatics have them afaik. It is a switch that is attached to the accelerator pedal bracket and is triggered when it gets near the floor, hence the name. It is electrically connected to a solenoid on the transmission,none of the wires go through the engine compartment.
Re the tacho wire, yes it easier to put the same loom in all of them.
Not unlike some home electronics where higher models had more features, but the units were all identical on the inside, just provision had been made with a switch for the feature etc.
