Connecting the braided cable to the battery positive and the insulated cable to the negative would be the way the battery was connected originally. Top post batteries typically have a slightly larger diameter positive post than the negative and most of the original type cables have a slightly larger hole in the terminal going to the positive battery post. Unless the cable has been changed or butchered that kind of gives a clue as to which cable goes where. More modern or universal cables generally have the same size hole so it is harder to tell how a car was originally done.
