Expert Reply:
It looks like your trailer is wired with a wishbone style harness like the # A20WB. This harness uses two brown running light wires to allow you to wire the trailer running lights without running a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other. To connect your new 4-wire plug, you will splice the two brown wires on the trailer together, and connect them to the brown wire on the 4 flat plug. Then it will simply be yellow to yellow, green to green and white for ground.
