no damage can be done.
hook it up and see if it works. (Suck it and see method) if not, reverse the H and V.

Its been my experience that the cables are layed out in order R-G-B-H-V right at the cable end.

One of my cables is

H: grey
V: black

And another one is

H: white
V: black


It is not universal as far as color but all the cables I have seen had the cables all flat coming out in the proper order R_G_B_H_V
