Which Google Nest is compatible with my system?

I have 5 wires (Rh, Rc, G, Y, W), dual transformer system as furnace and AC are separate. Can someone confirm which Google Nest is compatible with my system? Photo is linked below.

Another question - will I require (or be best advised) to have a C wire? My current setup does not have one.

Your current thermostat is only compatible with the Nest Learning Thermostat, 3rd Gen.

Try this wiring,

Read - Rc to Rc

Black - Rh to Rh

Green - G to G

Orange - Y to Y1

White - W to W1

I always strongly recommend that you install a C wire. Check and see if there is a spare wire behind the thermostat and use it to create a C wire. If there are no spare wires, use the Google Nest Power Connector to create one.
