Thanks for posting the picture. That's always helpful.
To keep things simple, Yes, wire the same way. TBH though, it makes no difference. Beneath the black plastic cover the two screw attachments connect to either end of a loop of metal. It's a folded dipole, and being a loop of metal means that you can attach the wires either way round and it'll make no difference.
Looking at that aerial, there's no little circuit board where the wires attach. That makes it out as a pre-digital era aerial. There's nothing wrong with using an older aerial to pick up Freeview. If it works, it works. Just be aware though that if you get odd or intermittent results then don't spend a lot of time trying to diagnose. Just swap out the aerial for one of the later generation models and save yourself a lot of grief.
