Can anyone explain to me the electrical connections on a starter motor?

Had a few issues with a new lucas/Mitsubishi motor from ecp, where the solenoid nodes and wire looked a bit different.

There's 3 connections to the solenoid. 2 are ignition switched and the other is perm live. Theres also a lead that is built in to the solenoid that connects to the starter motor body.

My questions is which terminal the built in wire should be connected to, which terminal the perm connection goes to, and which one get the ignition switched input. Need to verify my wiring.
