Soon as I figure it out I will apply power, watch what I touch and take readings.
I assume you've got it figured by now, but just in case - the odd oriented pin is the +. The diagonally opposite pin is -. The other diagonal pair is for AC. That is, this is a bridge of 4 diodes. Two share a common cathode at the odd pin (+). The two other diodes share a common anode at the - pin. The mixed anode-cathode connections are at the other 2 connectors.
