Only 1 problem: SD Diagram shows hum has 5 wires (Black, red,green, white(one that goes to the switch) and bare one(goes to the pot(ground))).
My hum has: Black, Red, Blue, White and Bare.
Is my blue same as SD green?

Hard to say, but I wouldn't count on it. There's absolutely no standard for wire colors out there, so all four of yours could conceivably be completely different from Duncan's. I'm not familiar with the True Duo's and am not finding much info on wiring one I'm afraid.
EDIT: Actually, I found one Ibanez wiring diagram that shows the TrueDuo, and it does include the proper colors, but there's a new wrinkle here.
There there's this link:
http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/produc...o/index_e.html This says that one of the True Duo's coils is actually a stacked single coil, which is how they get the "true" single coil sound from it. So, rather than your four wires going to each end of two coils as in a normal 4 conductor humbucker, it looks like they're instead used to engage the two different modes of the pickup, which makes what you want to do a little more complex.
With this setup, I'm not sure how you'd be able to coil-top this humbucker without a switch of some kind, if you could at all. It depends on what they're doing with the red wire, I guess.
EDIT 2: Okay, I've been trying to work out how this thing would work internally, and I think I've got it. Unfortunately, I don't see any way to automatically switch to single coil mode in the 2nd switch position the way you could with a typical 4-conductor pickup. You'd pretty much have to use a two-way switch of some kind as Ibanez does, but the benefit of doing so is that you would, in theory, get a better single coil sound from the bridge than a standard humbucker would, if that means anything to you.
