Usually, traditional brown zip cord has one smooth insulated conductor, and the other conductor has a rib running axially, or a series of markings to allow one to "polarize" the use of the brown cord. In the old days, we made the conductor having the rib along its entire length the neutral conductor for brown zip AC cords. You could even determine the "polarity" by feeling the cord in the dark for the prominently ribbed ones.
