Its the other side
2 green/orange?

6 orange/green
3 white

Sounds like your ol' cables have become discoloured and the bands have faded but it looks like 568A wiring in which case for CAT5/E it will be:

8 - Brown/White (Brown)
7 - White/Brown
4 - Blue/White (Blue)
5 - White/Blue

2 - Green/White (Green)
1 - White/Green
6 - Orange/White (Orange)
3 - White/Orange

happy punchdowns
