What part of the world are you in? I have a North American version, model 251155-01, and the wires are not the same at all (Red, white, yellow & shield).

If you carefully open up the RF modulator, on the circuit board it is printed which wire goes where. In that way you should be able to trace them in the other end of the cable: VIDEO, AUDIO, GND, VCC.
If you don't care about the modulator itself but only want a picture from your VIC-20, I would suggest you build a composite video cable directly from the DIN. You can find pinouts on the Internet. The connector has Video Low (4) and Video High (5). You should use pin 4, which also makes your cable more cross-compatible with other computers.

Ok. I have a modulator where inputs are marked, but it is fitted with an after-market cable and will be of no use to you. I can take a picture of its insides, but I'm afraid it will look different than yours. Actually I may have a few more modulators but not sure where. I do know I have an NTSC modulator somewhere.
