If you look closely each tab on the switch is an individual piece of copper separated by fiber insulator block. The white wires are connected to a tab that doesn't have switch contacts at all, its there just for a connection point for the diode and the wire so not to be floating in the air.
Quoted from Devilsmuse:Also another note about that switch the green black wire should be on the outer far left tab
You can put the green wires on the left, but then you would have to move the diode lead to where the green wire is now. Just look back at Terry's pic of the switch, white wire---diode non band---switch contacts---green wire.
