jimbo74...check each set of wires with the white and the black and see if you get 120volts, also the white and red on the same flex line.  Then check the red and black, and see if it gives you 240 volts.  On the second flex, see if the black and red give you 240 volts.  If that wire is brown on the second flex, that is what was used in the days for neutral, then that and the red should give you 120volts. The green and red should give you 120 volts, and the green and black should give you 120 volts.  If the second flex has no power, then it might continue up for a hood or a microwave plug.  Back in the days they use to tap off the 240 volts and grab one leg for the hood. Hope this helps.  What year was the house built?
