Yes, the potential across the closer of the the two sides of a slot is saying the same thing as the potential across the longest sides. i.e. the closer of the two sides of a slot are the longest sides of that slot.
And technically speaking, babinet's principle is concerned with optics. Taking the same method used in optics by babinet and applied to elctromagnetics gives the duality between slots and wires. In other words, a wire in space has the dual of a long thin slot cut into an infinite metal sheet. And the explanation as to how the ploarity of the e and h fields getting flopped was excellent.
