I took the above to imply that this is a cable running between two 8P8C modular jacks.I purchased a couple Cat5e faceplates, which I assumed would be fairly straightforward to fit.

Possibly, or possibly between each faceplate and a patch panel, or even between each faceplate and 8P8C plugs going into a router.I took the above to imply that this is a cable running between two 8P8C modular jacks.
That was the point I was trying to make: A lot of people seem to get confused about A vs. B wiring, but it doesn't matter so long as you use the same at both ends, whether it's between two jacks or from a jack to a plug - So long as 1 & 2 at one end go to 1 & 2 at the other, ditto for 3 & 6, and you keep them correctly paired, it will work (unless, as has been pointed out, you're deliberately aiming to create a crossover connection). The only difference is in the position of the orange/white & green/white pairs in the plug/jack.All that matters is that the right pins are connected together
The point is that there are two widely used standards, so you can't say that one or the other is the norm. And - going by the pair colors - if you wire both ends to A you still haven't created a crossover; you need, in effect, one end A and the other B to do that.The norm is to wire to the B standard, and reserve the A for your crossover patch cabling if so required.
