Are the minibars reverse polarity protected?

Looking at buying a pair of tir3 10 head used minibars. In looking at the manual I presume these were rewired (came off a county truck) as they only have a pair of of brown wires coming out, not tge red, black, white that the manual says. I would like to confirm they work before purchase but dont have a way of knowing what one is positive without opening them up.

Wondering if they have reverse polarity protection so I can power them up to test without worrying about frying them.

I am not sure if its good or bad but their is extremely little info on this light out there (difficult to find photos, video or other info). It has some unique patterns and I was able to locate the manual. Just find the lack of info online is odd.

I would have sent them an email if needed. The guy I got them from said they just had 2 wires coming out of them. It's the factory cord, was just cut and he didnt look close enough to see the individual wires. Stripped the jacket and the 3 wires were there.
