Hayward turbo cell wiring question

This is a long shot but here goes.
I had my salt water chlorinator cell stored in my shed. Mice got in and decided to chew through the wires. Its 10 wires but only 6 are used; two white, two black a red and a blue. What started out as a straightforward wiring repair/splice has got me wondering which black wire and which white wire go together or does it even matter? I checked with a meter for continuity and it appears that both B1 and B2 have continuity and same goes for W1 and W2 at both the controller and the cell.
I cannot find a wiring diagram that confirms anything for me but it would appear that it may not matter which wire (of the same color) goes to which.
Does anyone know how these systems are wired? Does it matter if I connect B1 and B2 from the controller to either B1 and B2 on the cell side? Same with the white?
Its a Hayward turbo cell T5
 
Below is what I know about the T-cell wiring.

I am going to make an educated guess that the black/white pairs are to power the two polarities of the cell. So I think the correct black/white pairs for a polarity need to be matched up for the cell to work properly

Maybe @JamesW knows more.

Holding the plug vertically with the cord going down and looking at the connection points. 1 is top left, 2 is top right, 3 is second down left and so on with 9 being lower left and 10 being lower right.

  • 1) Black - Power to cell
  • 2) White - Power to cell
  • 3) Black - Power to cell
  • 4) White - Power to cell
  • 5) Brown - Not used
  • 6) Red - Goes to thermistor
  • 7) Orange - Not used
  • 8) Yellow - Not used
  • 9) Green - Not used
  • 10) Blue - Goes to thermistor.
