Help wanted from PDS040 card owner

Hello,
I'm looking for help in making sure how the PDS040 is wired in relation to the KEL connector.
If you own a PDS040 device and some way of checking continuity on a PCB, maybe you can help me :)

In the relevant apple documentation, the pins are numbered in relation to the actual connector (2 rows of 20+50). I'm reasonably confident I got the numbering right for the PCB-side, but I'd like to be 100% sure before risking plugging anything in my Quadra 650.

Looking at the back of the device, with the connector at the bottom (and therefore the backplate with the connector(s) on the left), there should be 4 rows of soldering point to the KEL connector looking like this;

Could someone confirm that the pins I've circled in red (1, 86, 64) are connected to the ground, or if you can't identify ground elsewhere that they have continuity with one another? That should be enough to confirm that I got the mapping correct.

Thanks :)
