. . . . .

R W G B Not Used

R = Red

W = White

G = Green

B = Black

Answer 2

My understanding is that there is not any distinction interior the actual connections externally. On a retail gadget the blue connections could point out the USB3 ports and if there have been USB2 ports they could be a distinctive colour. Connecting them to the USB3 on the motherboard could make the ports USB3.

Answer 4

As long as the "key" matches the "no-pin", everything else should line up just fine.
