Disconnecting Cleaning Bat Cables & Terminals
I'm seeing a white powder at the bottom of the battery tray as well as some around the cable/terminals. I've taken pictures of the ( 4 ) 6 volts and ( 2 ) 12 volts so I know where to return the cable...

yes to all the above. baking soda, lots. water won't hurt anything here. Any rust or bare metal in the tray clean it off and paint it with something.
For sure make a diagram on paper of the connections and orientation of the batteries.
You can check the individual cells on your 6 volts with a meter, put the black on the ground terminal, and just stick the red in the cell, just in the electrolyte, you will get readings, 2 4 and 6 volts as you go down the line, more or less. If a cell is dead it will be obvious.
