No difference only the voltage and frequency have changed

I took a quick look at NZ electrical codes and found a few things that migh help.

Wiring colors are Brown=Hot Blue=Neutral Green/yellow=Earth

Older wiring and cords might have Red=Hot Black=Neutral Green=Earth

From the drawings the A or P terminal is HOT and should be on the left.

You can always determine the hot neutral with a volt meter by measuring from the earth terminal. The hot should read 230V to ground and the neutral should read zero.
