Luma uses 680/330.
Luma0 -> R14
Luma1 -> R18
Luma2 -> R22
Luma3 -> R12 or R26
Sync -> R26 or R12
Chroma0 -> R15
Chroma1 -> R19
Chroma2 -> R23
Chroma3 -> R27

I was brave enough to look a my photo and think. ;)
Quite funny that we came to a similar conclusion at the same time! :)
Look here for my findings and a great shot of the video mixer:
