The picture shows white twin flex, so yes, either way round will do. One way may in fact be safer than the other, but this needs a bit of expertise to establish.

In addition to Michael's excellent advice, if you do decide to fit a mains plug, it must have a 3A fuse (red) in it, as opposed to a brown, 13A one.
