They all use the same three letters, why would you think they were any
different?

Y - luminence
Pr - Red minus luminence
Pb - Blue minus luminence

They all just mean component video.

I didn't think they would mean anything different. I just wanted to
know which, for lack of a better word, order was correct.

Searching for data relevant to this issue makes is difficult to find
because of the number of variation in the way it is refered.

Look at your HDTV or similar for that video component. It should be in that
order. Y is your starting point of that order.
