Welcome to the Phorum!
As you pointed out these sets did not have a polarized plug like we have in modern electrical appliances and it did not matter which way the plug was plugged in since the hot and neutral only go to the switch and other side of the primary of the power transformer (with the caps on each leg going to ground...which should be replaced with safety caps). I make it a habit of wiring the hot lead to the switch. The wire colors in the schematic are unrelated to current wire color standards for home wiring.
Here's the link to a schematic for your set.
