‘57 Oval Fuse Box

Hi -
I got my Oval, and the previous owner began restoration then stopped. However, most wires were disconnected, and poorly /
Quickly thrown together for selling.
Original parts. A Samba search found guidance that all fuses should be white (8amp). But other guidance says to use in sequence: blue (hot wire),red, white, white.
Which is it?
Thanks!

Confirmed that they were all white 8 amp fuses originally.

Sorry for not responding sooner. Thanks for the guidance. This oddity in the car mirrors other bizarre connections. It is a tough solve chasing wires that were willy-nilly put back.

May need further advice .. thanks, again.

if it's that bad maybe consider a new wiring loom
