Is this wired T568A or B ? Or other ? (alien.top)

Hello! I am trying to replace a wall plate having a small phone plug with an rj45. First time doing this.

The cable itself is a cat5e. On the other end near my switch, there is an rj45 already wired in, so I wanted to check it to know if it's wired A or B, to replicate on the wall plate. But I have this in the photo... 1-2 is blue ?

How should I wire my rj45 keystone for the wall plate ? T568A or B ? Or following the current colors/numbers ?

This a 2016 construction, in Quebec, Canada.

Thanks a lot!

According to the photo of the cover you posted, it's not even punched down 568A or 568B. Thankfully the pins are labeled on this original picture here, so put it in the same order as an RJ45. Start with Orange stripe on pin one, then do a 568B across the board.
