Interesting.  The wire I purchased and the documentation I've found are 
as follows:

orange/white, orange, green/white, blue, blue/white, green, brown/white, 
brown

 From my days in telephone QA, orange/white described wire that was 
'orange on white,' that is, the wire is mostly white with orange 
stripes.  white/orange would be wire that is mostly orange with white 
stripes on it.

I guess my point is, you've indicated that all wires are two colored, 
whereas the docs I have and the wire I've purchased have solid colors. 
Also, it would appear that we've got wires swapped in the pairs, 
although I don't believe that would matter.
