I looked again. There is a single 'blue' cable and numerous maroon or purple cables. There is also a white cable. So if I need 4 cables hooked to the TCU on the 'facing towards back of car' side, I definitely don't have a complete match. Help! If I had to guess at this point -- I'd try using the single blue cable.

For the benefit of others -- on the MOST junction box, I had 3 'unused' pairs of fiber-optic cables. Using the 'flashlight' trick told me that the pair going to the TCU connector (facing towards the front of the car) was pair '3'. Luckily this was the first pair that I tried.
