All the terminals are marked with an M+, M-, V+, or V-. And there's only one of each marking. The markings aren't necessarily the clearest, though--shine a flashlight at the terminals, they're molded into the case next to 'em.
As for breaking the Jags... Reverse voltage like that does have a tendency to release the magic smoke. If you've smelled magic smoke, your Jags are toast. They might work... but I wouldn't trust them.
By the way, Cecil's answer was the first thing I thought of when I saw the problem description...
