Please help with Minecraft Command to place dispenser pre-filled with pre-named items

Question

The goal is to plop down a dispenser with a stack of red wool named "testa" and a stack of orange wool named "testb" already in the dispenser inventory. I've gotten everything but the name. The weird part is, the command below actually runs, no errors, but it generates a dispenser with a stack of red wool just named "red wool" and likewise for the orange stack.
/setblock ~-3 ~ ~ dispenser[facing=east]{Items:[{Slot:0,id:red_wool,Count:64,tag:{display:{Name:"testa"}}},{Slot:1,id:orange_wool,Count:64,tag:{display:{Name:"testb"}}}]} replace

You have to stringify (cancel out) the quotes around the names. You can do this with backslashes (""item_name"") or by placing the double qoutes in a pair of single quotes ('"item_name"').
/setblock ~-3 ~ ~ dispenser[facing=east]{Items:[{Slot:0b,id:"minecraft:red_wool",Count:64b,tag:{display:{Name:""testa""}}},{Slot:1b,id:"minecraft:orange_wool",Count:64b,tag:{display:{Name:""testb""}}}]} replace
