Surround is 3 and right is 4; you can tell because the surround stripe is narrower. Some people number them from the opposite edge though, I've got a feeling the Russians did.
Steve, I've got a feeling that you've listed the tracks in the order that they come on the film, rather than the L,C,R,S order that we normally think of them, but still swapped the numbers of 3 and 4, as if you'd listed them the other way, it you see what I mean.
Yes, the MPU-1 manual does show the track configurations for both 35mm and 70mm (Todd-AO format with five screen channels) formats.

Yea, I've always thought, facing the base side of the film with the magnetic striping and soundtrack to the left and with the complete physical layout as such: Left,("FOX" sprockethole) Center,(optical track), Surround,("FOX" sprokethole) and Right.
I loved running mag - just one clean, strong sound compared to basic optical, which was long before anyone heard of Dolby...
