** "M" ("M" meaning, "mrun", of course.) **

M for "main" (aka. the run winding).

** I find it hard to imagine why no one would feel like stamping a B, R, and W, next to the three pins on the compressor. **

You'd have to ask the compressor manufacturer (which is not Frigidaire BTW). None of the domestic compressor manufacturers do. Of course, if you were installing the manufacturer's suggested replacement part, it would be a mute point?

** The ones I found didn't give much indisputable proof as to which colored wires go to which pins. **

Because that would depend on what make of compressor was installed and even which compressor model from that particular manufacturer it was. Some compressor manufactures have used multiple terminal configurations even on their own compressors.

Oh well, good luck with your new one. At least any new model you buy today should be considerably more energy efficient than the one you had.
