Brake/Side Lights

There are 3 wires coming out of the brake lights, does this mean they are both brake and tail lights? Obviously when brake pedal is pushed they brighten up?

or count the bulb filaments

Series Landrover lamps they take standard 5/21 watt double filament off set pin stop-tail bulbs, Bulb ref. type 380.
Black wire is earth, red wire 5 watt tail, green wire 21 watt stop light.

Put the black cable on the negative terminal of a battery try each of the other cables on the positive. I think red is sidelight and green brake.
