Balun Polarity Importance

Hello I am picking up a project from someone else who has a built a dipole that is connected to a 1:1 transformer with the intention of using it as a current balun. I have noticed that from documents that the balun is supposed to be built with the corresponding polarity

From looking at the PCB built I have determined that this isn't how it is wired. It is wired like.

The thing I am wondering is that if this polarity difference is effected my Balun abilities. I haven't really been able to find a explanation about this.

This is the balun I am using: Pulse CX2147
